I come from a family of three children, though one of my brothers died as an infant and the other died in his twenties. Meanwhile, I am mom to three kids. Of course, our expenses during that time were much lower than they are now that we have three kids. Spoiling my kids is difficult because we have limited resources.

Recently, an extended family trip to Hawaii got put on hold due to costs. I followed my own advice and tried to be very clear on what parts my spouse and I would be able to handle for the rest of the family – financially.

For example, if you want to buy slightly used home furnishings, find an upscale neighborhood where the kids are mostly grown. Treasures which the grown kids don’t want or need! If you want to buy kids toys or clothes, look for new home neighborhoods with lots of pre-school or grade school aged kids. My best finds.

She is soon to be 92 years old and uses her position as the family matriarch to teach the rest of us to be grateful.

The Grandkids are 9 and 12 now with lots of time before they have to start supporting themselves somehow. After 10 years raising kids, I decided to re-enter the workforce.

Before retiring I often wondered about life after retirement – would we have enough money , would it change our marriage, would the kids and grandkids have different expectations, what if catastrophe struck and money became an issue, what would I do, would I miss the daily interaction with the people with whom I worked for many years?
