I am pretty confident our indulgence in luxury items are pretty low.
We are raising 7 children, so spreading one paycheck among so many people has forced us to concentrate on necessities -not luxuries.
We never buy new cars. We bought a modest home and remodeled it.
We only have junk food in the house when there is a party -a sleepover.
Occasionally we may splurge, but a “splurge” item in our minds usually doesn’t qualify as “splurging” to some of our wealthier friends (sports equipment, dinner at a nice restaurant, etc...)
I would grow a big garden and put your children to work in it. Laying hens too if your zoning permits
