Tone Down Your Entertainment Expenses Spending quality time with your family doesn’t have to be expensive. You can rent a movie, turn-off the lights, grab a bowl of popcorn, and enjoy it with the family. Limit eating out and the activities that are outside your budget such as expensive movies and far away vacations.

They also took the kids (one at a time) each year and entertained them by going to tourist attractions in their area. They drove the 200 mile trip on holidays and birthdays to celebrate with us.
