Here's some good news. We all go through times when there are huge calls on our income like getting the family through their education.
At my son's 25th birthday today I was able to see it clearly. Both our older childern are through and our little one is yet to hit those expensive years. Let me encourage you to try to save a little even in the high expense years but when those easy years come along to grab them as opportunities and save.
Enjoy your money
