We are saving more now than we used to before Have not watched a movie in the theater for quite a while now, our dinner pick up and delivery has gone down from maybe 4 times a week to now probably once every 2 weeks and so on. Beer and wine budget has been slashed to almost zero We would rather spend the time saved playing with the kids http://arohanvalue.blogspot.com We had the 2nd kid in 2 years, and I can tell you that our finances actually did change.
