- Two Cell Phones---this totally catches people by surprise. They don't see how I can function without one, but I do. Since cell phones became accessible, I have only owned one for a one year period before Kayleigh was born. Justin has one, so we aren't totally in the Dark Ages.
- Cable--really cuts down on the watching TV out of boredom.
- The ability to spoil our children materially---not having loads of money can be beneficial!
- A car payment
- A bigger house--it's hard enough keeping this one clean
- Debt--totally Justin's doing...he's an awesome financial planner...of course some call him stingy, but I don't care.
- Long drives to visit our children's grandparents
- Cribs--William is in a big boy bed now...can't wait to put diapers on this list!

I used to be adamant about the cell phones. And then I had teenage daughters. But, I agree with the sentiment. In so many ways, our lives would be better without them.
We don't have a home phone, so I need a cell, but man, I can't imagine life with out it. Good for you!
Cable: We have and I wish we didn't. It comes with the internet which we have to have for work.
Big house: Just need to move to Guatemala where you are really encouraged to hire a house cleaner for next to nothing.
A car payment/Debt: AMEN SISTER! It feels so good not to be under anyone!
Long drives: So incredibly jealous.
Cribs: We have a while, but congrats! (We just put Deacon in his big boy bed last weekend!)

We don't have a home phone but we both have cells- iphones. Mac stuff is all we SPEND on-
Otherwise, we are totally stingy, too. I love not competing with others. I think it is funny seeing the reaction of others when I say we are saving for college and working to pay off cars...
People just don't get it!
