Thanks for the responses so far, those have given me some ideas. (And I wish I knew how to bypass healthcare costs…)

Well, if you’ve figured out how to bypass healthcare cost issues, that sure would be of interest!!

I’m on bedrest expecting twins in early June. I came across your blog and have really enjoyed reading it. So, as I’m preparing to be a stay at home mom and our household income will be reduced, I’d like to know about ways to cut back on expenses. Would switching insurance companies (auto, homeowners and health)be benificial? How often do you re-evaluate cell phone plans, insurance needs, cable and internet packages? Also how actively do you manage your retirement accounts? Are college funds a must from the day of our babies’ arrival? And pretty much any cost saving advice for raising kids. Thanks!

I’d like to know how is the not paying Escrow, and paying the insurance and taxes yourself going?

Was this a positive for you?
