No big screen tv's, no eating out often, 1 kid with a few activities (baseball, cub scouts, etc), no insane credit card debt. Neither works minimum wage, they have a mother down street who baby sits for free. Even still their buffer at start of year was 700.00 per month. As of last talk it was down to under 200.00 and like hell they dont even smoke and rarely drink.
