It is DEFINATLY doable hon!!!

We have 5 kids, about to have #6, and on Dh's income we miss out on a HHC by around $80...

My kids even go to a Catholic school!

I found paying the bills weekly/fortnightly makes a huge difference. By the time a ph/elec/gas comes in, its almost payed for already.

Everyone has given GREAT advice!

And there is not much you cant buy second hand!!

My kids are a lot happier, healthier,and dare I say "nicer" than a lot of their "private school" friends, on the big incomes!!

We do have a large house, but we got it while I was still working. Paying for it now is a struggle though!!

We'll try to not sell, as we built it for $260,000 and its worth around $450,000 already. We built in a new, flashy estate.

But besides the house we are humble folk!!
