Four Kids

This guest post from Doris Dillon

A long time ago, when I was young and naïve, having four kids seemed like the best idea ever. My husband and I had always dreamed about having a large family, and one thing led to another. We love having our loud, boisterous family, but I have to admit that from time to time I question the sanity of our decision. Having four children is incredibly expensive. We’re fortunate that we both have good jobs and are able to provide well for our family, but with college looming we’re a little worried about how we’re going to swing it all. We’ve started to be careful about how we’re spending our money and are trying to do whatever we can to save money. At the suggestion of one of the mothers at my daughter’s school, we checked out Texas Electricity Rates and were actually able to switch our energy provider. A lot of people don’t know that Texas is a state that allows you to do this; it’s such an easy change to make and involves little to no effort at all! It’s definitely one of the easiest ways we’ve found to save money so far!
