But I wouldn't give mine up for the world. However, what you said is interesting because I've seen too many people make excuses for why they can't improve their financial health. I haven't read the "Millionaire Next Door", but I have been a member of the Financial Freedom Society for almost five years. Through their tools and services, we paid off all credit cards, two cars, an RV, and fully funded both of our children's college educations. And my husband was out of work for nine months in that period of time. Sadly, too many people think their debt situations are so overwhelming that they feel defeated before they begin. Knowing how to do it if you're a "regular" person is certainly empowering. Yes, sometimes I have a tinge of jealousy when my DINK friends fly away on yet another exotic vacation.

I love all three of mine to death and would never NEVER want things to be any different. But, it would be much easier to save money if my wife and I had no kids. I think DINKs should save as much as they possibly can. I know I would! There’s no doubt that kids are expensive.
