Ilove my family-they are there to help me with anything, but when there is a birthday every month (sometimes more than two) and a funeral, wedding, or graduation at least once a year, dishing out the money for gifts and food can be and is a tremendous expense.

By a huge family I am mainly speaking of my immediate and very close-knit extended family. My 60 plus first cousins are like my brothers and sisters so we help one anothre all the time.

One of the ways I found to save at a big party is to contribute with food and helping prepare the event. I love my family but my goodness are they expensive!!

To achieve complete financial freedom I would have to live on an island with a coconut bra and a grass skirt drinking Tuba. (alcoholic beverage made from fermented coconut juice)
