One of those something’s is probably going to be finding a way to never be in that situation again – which means you will learn to start saving, some how, some time. Those affected by our recent Great Recession have had the benefits of saving reinforced as well. Included here is peer pressure.

Many of the other items I needed like cloth diapers and clothes for the baby in bigger sizes I bought from garage sales. The article specifies that Garlick did not buy any birthday or Christmas presents for her children, but I’m sure that they got items from well-meaning relatives.
