riding lawn mowers, garage door openers and many, many more things we take for granted today. Ours was smaller (about 700 square feet) – 2 bedrooms (my brother and I shared one and my parents the other), a kitchen and a living room, No basement or garage. There were no garage door openers. There were no cell phones.

We didn’t max out our contributions, but we were at least contributing something and while it prolonged our pay off period, it was a compromise that made us both feel better. In September 2001, we bought a 1700 square foot home with a one-car garage and ONE full bathroom. My kids are now almost 15 and 12 and eat as much as adults!

But, I can’t believe people are making big bucks telling other people how to control their spendthrift ways, or sharing how to shave a few cents off a grocery bill. We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like.

If both you and your spouse are eating out every day for lunch, you’re looking at $128/month – on top of your regular grocery bill. And that’s a conservative estimate of $7 per lunch out. per lunch x 4 days per week = $16/week. It doesn’t sound like much until you see it add up: $16/week = about $64/month.

But there is no way you are going to give up cable, the cell phone, eating out or your gym membership. But, you can’t escape your life and the bills will follow you. You go weekend e-baying, garage-saling or to the flea markets. You got divorced, had medical bills, or were unemployed. Life stinks sometimes.
