Yes kids can cost a fortune sometimes, I have 4 and have put 3 of them through various forms of post education, automobiles etc. My wife and I have a business that is doing ok for now, but we have definately seen economic slow down.

I have been down sized to 32 hours a week This year. Three years I budgeted on a 40 hour week and bought a truck. Now we are living on a cheque to cheque basis. Plug gone through my six month emergency savings account. Yes down sizing suck But you have to what you have to do. Hobbies in my house get a budget of spend only enough to keep them alive nothing more nothing less. So far I have not lost but gained.
