We've been married 41 years and it's just in the last 5-10 that we've had extra spending money. We still try to save most of Hubby's paycheck and we refuse to buy anything on credit. If we can't pay cash, we don't get it.

I know I could cut back in many areas and really need to start doing more of that.Thanks for the inspiring post.Ruth Hieberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260132564992492524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-8614145453804857082019-05-29T15:03:41.133-04:002019-05-29T15:03:41.133-04:00My girls and I hung out at the thrift shops all th...My girls and I hung out at the thrift shops all the time. I wore jeans to mow the lawn, etc., and the idea of buying *new* ones mystified me. Get ones that are already old and worn in, for a third of the price, if that.
