I hear other teachers saying they can't afford to stay home, while all the time they travel to Disneyworld and Mexico every year, drive new cars, pay $700 per month for day care and wear name-brand clothes (and clothe their kids in name brands!), etc. Even now, some of the few people we've told about our pending international adoption comment, "Oh, I'd love to do that, but we could never afford it!" We are NOT wealthy. We are financing this adoption the only way that was possible for us: Having no debt and living on one income while saving a second income for four years.

Cable, text messaging, smart phones, making more than 20 phone calls from our land line per month (yes, it cut down our phone bill!) are all things that aren't in the budget.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121040081487860599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483298362782673850.post-41238091240266322862012-02-20T22:01:23.990-06:002012-02-20T22:01:23.990-06:00Great post!

We don't drive fancy cars or have a super nice house, but it's ok. :) People can go with a lot less if they really wanted to stay home with their children. You don't have to have cable, smart phones with the expensive plans, go out to eat all the time, shopping every weekend, ect. There is a lot we can live without.Caroline @ The Modest Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02123409892782508684noreply@blogger.com
