I had a son in August and we moved to a different house to get him in the right schools, so not only has our mortgage doubled, but we pay day care costs. We aren't struggling. Everything can be paid. But, I am now trying to save much more than I used to. I have no clue what college is going...

When I've kept up the shiny finish on my floors (sealent then future acrylic floor polish) they are easier to keep clean. the dirt doesn't dig itself down into the cuts and scratches and set up permanent housekeeping. When I mop, the dirt slithers right out with not so much cracks and crannies...
