Omg. This hits hard. I make/made a good 6 figure income but we were almost paycheck to paycheck. It made noooo sense! But then we stopped eating out, saving HUNDREDS a month. Stopped all the services like a pool cleaner, maid, yard care, the gym membership we never used. My husband is a stay at home dad, he started cleaning the yard and pool. I do more cleaning and I cook 6 nights a week, and the 7th night we will have leftovers. Now we are debt free, have a nest egg and almost have our home paid off. It is CRAZY how quickly a budget can put this into perspective. Credit cards. Debt cards, just hid the problem for a longer time.

I'm impressed with their commitment and progress. I also am struck by how their house is neat and clean and it doesn't seem to be filled with stuff the way a lot of the other families' houses are. I suspect they have a better chance of making this stick than others because they aren't battling a shopping addiction.

[@KC-qr3wk]

They’re battling children’s sports and eating out addictions. Both are just as addictive as shopping. I say this as I used to be addicted to both too - eating out more and it blew out my budget and my waistline. Anyone on here is here because of an excess in one area or another and I don’t think any addiction is worse (or better) than another.

@@melissatodd673 You're joking, right? Back in the early 00s, many women's eyebrows were practically nonexistent. The amount of overplucking made many women look like they lost their eyebrows in 'Nam. Yes, Gail's eyebrows are pretty natural, but Nicola's eyebrows were rather skinny, though not as bad as some I've seen. The frequency with which I saw women with drawn on eyebrows back then was wild. I normally wouldn't suggest Buzzfeed articles, but a quick google search for "early 2000s eyebrows" pulled up an article titled "18 Eyebrow Transformations From The Early 2000s That'll Make You Put Down The Tweezers" that lets you compare the style back then with celebrities in the mid 2010s and they were nearly all overplucked (number 18 is Christina Aguilera's "no eyebrows, only pencil" look, which was hilariously common back then where I lived in SoCal, only hers at least weren't straight up brown McDonald's arches reaching to her hairline.)

[@anniehope8651]

If you just spend less you don't have to work more. Somehow for Americans the solution is always to work more. I guess it's because of credit cards, that you pay afterwards. So first you buy something, and then you find ways to pay for it. When you're more used to debet card culture, where you first need money before you can buy anything, like in Europe, you only spend what you have. And so when it turns out you're tight, the first solution is to cut your spendings. It's very uncommon to have more than one job. Also, you can't work more if you already work full time. It's legally not allowed. So 'work more' usually is not the way out. And if you have a husband with a good job, and you work part time as a wife, that should be more than enough to live off. And by having some time on your hands, you can live cheaper. You can do more yourself, or you have time to find the cheapest option, to clip coupons etc. Working less makes it easier to spend less.

$43K in childcare for grown kids ????? If i made $125K $12K for sports is a drop in the bucket

[@jb6712]

They were NOT "grown." The oldest was only 12, then 10 and 8. Here in the States it's not legal for a child under the age of 14 to be a primary care person for such young children as the girl's brothers. Their mother worked as a teacher's aide/assistant, so she was able to be home at the same time they were, having the same work hours as they had school hours, and that's how they were able to save the expense of after-school care for children too young by law to be alone for hours. There wasn't anything about $43k in childcare costs; it was $18k a year that WASN'T having to be spent because of the mother being able to be home when the kids were there.

My friend is a nurse and when she started her career, she got the nightshifts . She is a dingle parent , she had a 2 year old girl at the time that she put in overnight daycare. Her shift ended at 8 in the morning, she would go home, sleep until 2 and get her little girl back. Then she would bring her to the daycare at 7 pm, get some rest and start over the next day. Daycare ate a lot of her earnings. After 2 years she was burned out, ended up in a psychiatric unit and it took her years to get better.

[@jb6712]

Depending on the laws there, it's entirely possible that it would have been illegal for the 12 y.o. to be responsible for her younger brothers. It's illegal here in the States--most of the states, some just don't care--for children under the age of 14 to even do general babysitting, let alone take care of much younger siblings for hours at a time. Her work hours were pretty much the same as the kids' school hours, her being a teacher's aide/assistant, so it isn't a matter of her having to "work more" when she's already working full time.

I don't feel comfortable when the child gave up his sports. A child shouldn't sacrifice his social life and his friends because of the bad decisions of his parents. Team sports is so important for a child to get social skills.

[@carolc2574]

He didnt. He offered to, and the parents were touched by it, but the dad said that he wouldn’t allow it. It was dad who gave up sports for himself but not the kids

[@Ndstars1]

@@carolc2574 Yes, but I'm sure the kids felt guilty while sitting around the table, asking to volunteer and that not fair to them. Their parents mess shouldn't be on the kids.

The most important thing you can give a child is a stress free home and a model relationship that does not model resentment

[@stephaniepuebla8487]

He volunteered. I agree that adult problems are adult problems but also it's sweet and shows great character when family steps up to reach a common goal that benefits all.

I never could play sports as a kid....the expense was too much.

I have to live on $90 a month and manage, how can they be so careless with their $? If I had even 1 year of their income I would make it last a long time, without Gail. Come on guys, get with it.

So you live on the street and eat from stores garbage bins?

[@millsykooksy4863]

$90!?!?!?!😂😂😂😂

[@nanettemorton4054]

My guess is that you don't pay rent, utilities, car insurance, etc.

[@ykook7000]

[@bovnycccoperalover3579]

What year is this? $600 a MONTH for groceries?! That wouldn’t last one week for my house

[@Candlewick14]

Same...we are a family of only 3 and I think we would spend 400 per week in australia

[@tedros6917]

2004? I think it could definitely work

[@MsJubjubbird]

@@Candlewick14 Cost of living is higher in Australia. But this was also 2004.
