First house concrete floors, no dinners out, 1 kid and second whilst we lived there.barely any money to keep cars on the road, and you needed a car we lived in the outer suburbs of Sydney.
Always had a budget, moved houses a couple of times still outer suburbs, bigger house, different areas, sent kids to private schools in high school not exclusive ones, but still had to budget money.
Having a young family, holidays revolved around their sports. They were mainly domestic and drove to save money. Rarely ate out or takeaway, cost too much.
Life is very different now, savings are easier and we have been able to help our children, who are now all adults. We were frugal but always had a good time with what we had.
