Are you enjoying life Spaw?

I realize that some folks have hard time getting by regardless of how much scrimping and saving they do. I am also of the belief that their kids grow up better adjusted.

I tried not to spoil mine but the grandkids... that's a whole different story. Even then we spoil them by taking them places and giving them a lot of attention, something their working parents cannot provide a lot of.

Another thing that just crossed my mind is that my wife does the food shopping and she clips every coupon, food and otherwise, that she can. She even goes to stores where they double coupons. She keeps a record and she saves between $1000 and $2000 per year.
