I agree. There is more to life than just saving money. Some areas are worth cutting back, some are not.

I'm happily married 6 years now, with 2 kids. Best part of my life, those three. If you are both committed to the relationship, it can last. But it's not going to be an easy journey. It will take work, compromise and sometimes sacrifice. Most of the great things in life are like that - they take work.

Ways to save:
- grow your own vegetables.
- turn in cans for recycling
- programmable thermostat
- trees on the west side of the house - less solar heat to AC away
- shade over the AC unit itself
- combine trips / stop at stores on the way home
