I realise I probably won't get many sympathies here because our income is high but this is really a problem.
So dh earns £60,000 I earn anything from £20,000 to £30,000 depending on what projects go through and am part time.
We are trying to save for two holidays this year our two week summer holiday and a Caribbean cruise for the family to celebrate an anniversary.
Both these holidays we cost £5000 grand plus and the first one is paid for but we have only saved a grand for the second.
So me and dh have decided to cut back and reduce spending.
So we have reduced eating out (used to eat out once a week) and we also reduced the amount we spend on groceries buying things from Sainsbury's rather than buying everything from Marks or Waitrose. Also the amount we spend buying clothes we are quite fond of a label as a family particularly dh and dss.
So yesterday dh took the teens into London and spent £600 on them eating out and buying things. We have the money but we are supposed to be saving.
When I hear other people on here talk about there expenses it makes me feel so ashamed. I spend hundreds of pounds of food shopping the amount of food we get through. Dh won't step foot in any supermarket below Sainsbury's. I don't have a figure on food but even if I did I would be ashamed to post it.
