It sounds like so much, but I am not living an exotic lifestyle. It seems like everyday I am dropping $50 here and $20 there.

I take the 5 of us out to a movie and waste $70. If we go out to dinner afterwards, it is a $120 afternoon.

It just all adds up. I am sure it is doable, I just need to learn to say no.

I remember growing up, my parents would never even think of ordering a drink at a resteraunt, let alone alcohol. My Mom clipped coupons and bought no-name brands. Families car-pooled to save gas. We just never had to.

I guess we have to now.
