Basically living below our means, in an area with crappy schools [since it didn’t matter] and putting two kids in each bedroom. There are very cheap houses in Texas [old, 3br types] and it doesn’t hurt that I fix most things myself.

It was a tradeoff for us...and I think in the long term we come out way ahead because none of our kids will require ‘parental welfare’ as happened to many of my friends with kids.

Well done Bob. Our daughter could read before we placed her in public school which may have helped. Also the public schools in our area are not as crowded (fewer students per teacher). She is the supervising Medical Lab Technician at our local hospital now. We are very proud of her.
