I said that sacrifices would be made. We chose to only have one so that we could live the lifestyle we chose and still be able to provide the things that we felt were necessary. We both worked. We vacationed often and our child is better for the education she received during our travels. She was able to learn to ski and take part in extra curricular activities at school. She was raised in a nice middle class home and was able to attend a reputable college which she paid 50% through academic scholarships and we were able to save the other 50%. She is now married with two children of her own--she and her husband both work and are very attentive parents. Their family is on the same track that we followed and I could not be more proud. Nothing will replace hard work, good planning and tenacity in the journey to success.but our vacations were modest - a week at the beach, usually - and going out to dinner at anything other than Roy Rodgers was saved for someone’s birthday.
