family profile part 2

The event that happened in our family was that our 18 year old son had gotten straight A's. It was family tradition to go out to eat to reward him. Fortunately, we had enough money saved that we were able to afford this. We could even have the option to go to a fancy restaurant. By cutting back on personal expenses, and the internet and cable, we could put more into our savings. We didn't have to redo our budget at all because of this. This has showed that putting more money into your savings can be used to your advantage. We could reward our son for his good grades without having to worry about money.
