It's not about the....

Having kids is a pricey business. They've clothes that fit them for around a month, shoes that cost more than adults and are seemingly the only living mammal who can polish off a box of Weetabix in around 5 days! And when will it end? Well, with uni fees bound to soar even higher between now and when my kids get to go, not any time soon.

That's why for the first time in our lives we're actually starting to think about savings. Since these little people entered our lives we haven't felt exactly minted but we do feel more (and I apologise for being a bore) responsible. Afterall it's up to us to provide for them, both now (excessive cereal consumption and all!) and in the future - whatever they choose to do.

We don't want to live our lives worrying about money. We don't want to be too tight and not make the most of our kids being young. We want to go away lots, have spontaneous treats and all in all have fun. But we've noticed that our kids couldn't care less if this fun is found in a forest, a campsite, a city or in a 5 star hotel! They just want us to be all together and sometimes adventure can be found in the smallest of events. In fact, I'd say that kids can teach us big folk a lot that way... as a famous wordsmith once said; "it's not about the money, money" etc.!
