I work in the Energy banking field and although that sounds impressive, I am just an Executive Admin/Office Manager. I count our blessings everyday while my sweet man counts our pennies...it is something we both remember our parents doing and it has served us well. You are teaching you children how to live more abundantly without all the abundance. Good for YOU!!!<br />I love your blog, and I will be here waiting. Take your time - I SO get it!!! Oh, email me your addy...I have something to send you. ldunkerley@comcast.net <br />*hugs* <br />LanaLanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015572831686023979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408237466680431412.post-57005668931848014462011-07-14T20:44:05.687-05:002011-07-14T20:44:05.687-05:00Congrats on your new job.

Its the same here in Germany, 2009 was a absolulty horrible year for the economy. End of 2010 were ok and so 2011 but the consumption is still not what it was before 2009. I never got what I wanted and I´m happy about that and the fact that I was raised to have an eye on my money and think about what I will purchase like you said "needs" and "wants".

We too have learned to live on less as were a one income family for 3 years (while I finished school). Kids learn lifelong lessons from times like these and it sounds like your boys adjusted well!

I have been blessed with a little part time job at home and I am taking that money and saving it because we didn't have that income before. I love the fact that you are going to take this time and be with your children. Congrats on the job. By the way, I just now posted my FNSI. I did crochet that night but just now posted after I finished my project. I am not too organized. ha! Have fun!
