Family fun on a budget

Hi lloydgene, my family decided to live frugally about 3 years back. As we need the money for our house as well as the kids (2 boys aged 3 and 5) private school education and insurance. We rarely go to the malls except if we have a need to get something or a present. Family outings on a budget for me includes cycling in the park, swimming at the public pool, picnic, visiting relatives and window shopping. We do however, splurge a little on our yearly holidays which we try to keep to a week at most. You are lucky that the gasoline in your country is cheap. Here, to fill a car that has a 2 litre tank will set you back about $100 each time.
