Why? we dont spend a bunch of money
eating out or fast food,
smart phones
cable
movies
NEW CARS
on stupid drains of money.

We have a 6 year old 4100 sqft house on 61 acres with a 1000 sqft 3 car garage. We have lots of toys. We save money by doing all the work that can be done by ourselves...by ourselves. It should work fine, but people need to stop thinking they need to live the lifestyle of a millionaire even though they dont make that much money.
See that's the thing, we can afford it just fine as well. But just barely. We do all of the cost cutting measures and don't spend frivolously, we're just trying to figure out how to dig out of debt to where we can make our money start working for us...instead of us working for our money.
