The cost of living is very high and you need to budget to fit all the expenses in!

yep that’s why I’m only having 2 kids!! it seems everything goes up in prices except our incomes

The cost of living has increased steeply in the last few years.

Definitely agree, I am definitely on the look out for deals now more then ever.

  Thankyou Mum Of 4 …. I’m sure that you can relate exactly to my story. As I have 5 children it can be very hard.

Thankyou everybody for your responses. I really appreciate your input.

yes definitely agree everything seems to keep going up I find it hard enough with only the one child so you are doing well with 5!

  Thanks Jelly Bean 01. Some days are hard enough with 5 kids le alone the expenses

Licing expenses have gone up but I dont think wages have followed. It is definately tougher.

Same here but i have three kids costs of everything just keep going up, Luckily with clothes they can get handed down if they are not worn out. But shoes they get well worn or damaged easily. For my kids its more a cases of i need not what i want but its hard not to give into them to treat them occasionally.

I agree, the cost of living has increased and it is harder to run and keep a budget.

Absolutely. Living expenses are definitely make things tougher

There isnt as many places that you can save money in any more. There is so many more ‘must haves’ rather than ‘nice to haves’

Your not alone everything is so expensive and it’s really hard i give you a lot of credit as I can’t imagine having 5 kids these days ..

I hear you!! Love my kids but everything is so expensive these days!!

Living expenses are unbelievable these days!
I have a two year old boy who’s feet are growing non stop, he has recently gone through another growth spurt, so need to find a way to bring in new clothes, not to mention the prices for groceries here. It’s crazy.
It’s hard, no doubt about that.

Absolutely, and some things (like shoes) you can’t usually get second hand.
