What are they andhow can we save money moving forward?
One of the culprits here is social media, which Cruze emphasized, should not dictate your financial choices.
And then of course weve got the kiddos.
They may need a new backpack or pair of sneakers to kick off the fall.
But do you really need to buy all this stuff brand new and for top dollar?

Boredom doesnt need to be appeased with money.
Teaching responsibility and work ethic serves your kids so, so well, Cruze said.
