My family has lived on very little money for quite a while. When I look back to before this I regret the money I wasted on rubbish which my children didn't ask for or seem to enjoy and which ultimately clutters my house.
Currently we have more money but this will revert back to subsistence living shortly.
I look at the Christmas board and stuff in the shops and I think what I could buy with the money if we were struggling again. I therefore have no impetus to buy stuff but at the same time don't want to spoil my childrens Christmas.
How does everybody else approach this situation?!
