We live on one income - I've been a stay-at-mom for 16 years and we live in NY. Sure my kids have most of the high-tech stuff, but they do without a lot too. Most people are pretty surprised when I tell them we cut all our credit cards 10 years ago and love the fact that Christmas morning when our kids open their gifts we can relax knowing it's all paid for - no post holiday debt for us! We drive older cars - no car payments. Our mortgage is the only debt we have. Does that make us odd? Yeah...a good feeling. We live strictly within our means.

I think it helps when at least one person in the family is good with money and is in charge of the family finance. But sometimes people insist on doing it themselves, even when they know they can't.
