And while I don’t like parting with our money, I am grateful that this repair won’t send us into financial distress. How would you pay for an unexpected car repair? As my kids have grown, I have expanded my work hours at our office and by the end of the week, I’m too cooked to cook , so take out it is!

Although kids will need new pairs each year, most adults have stopped growing and could keep their good pairs for multiple years. Back then, there was a shoe repair shoe in every town. On plain leather shoes, scuff marks can usually be rubbed out with a damp cloth (and possibly a tiny bit of cleanser). Shoes are expensive.

I vividly remember him saving his change all year and having us kids roll it for vacation. If we wanted extra money for something like school clothes or makeup, we were given a chore to earn it. Clothing and furniture are just a couple of the things you can buy on the Facebook marketplace , Craigslist , and OfferUp.

And while I don’t like parting with our money, I am grateful that this repair won’t send us into financial distress. How would you pay for an unexpected car repair? Can you fix a repair yourself? I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores.

I have 11 kids, ages 9-29, and two cats. I like to bake and read, and I spend time chauffeuring kids to activities and games. I volunteer at my kids’ school at lunch time and other events. I would like to retire and not have to worry about every last penny, and to be able to travel a little and treat my kids.

Well, I had to research this one as I’ve lived in the same home for 26 years now and have only changed out the paint once (repairing all those holes the kids put in the walls with their dart boards!) How often do people redo their rooms? and still have the wedding furniture we bought 44 years ago!

I’m in my 60’s, I’ve been married to the love of my life for 44 years and we have two adult “kids.” We consider her our “bonus kid” and our family is extremely close. I still remember saving my change as a kid so I could “shop” for books at yard sales.) My mom cut coupons and sewed her own clothes and mine, as well.

In fact, the Duggars of TLC’s Nineteen Kids and Counting use paper plates for every single meal. While I understand that 19 kids can generate a lot of dishes, just think how much waste they generate by using paper plates for every meal. If you’d like to make the switch from paper napkins, consider going to cloth napkins.
