Default Re: Budget of a family of 5

We tried the cash thing. But, DH would either forget to take out the money or we just use it other things. I suppose we could just discipline ourselves and check it out. But, we really do try to make good purchases already and we are aware of what we are buying. But, I think it is an area that is harder to grasp and many probably grossly underestimate how much it really takes to feed a family. Yes, we could live on Ramen noodles, but I don't really want to.
