the third couple made the most changes in their lives.
Trading cars cost money (2nd couple) -- so I'm questioning if they really saved money in the long run??

I like the fact that each family made efforts to adapt.

I think the Williams family had it right - Patience. Our society has become too full of people who need instant Gratification.
We are trying to teach our children about saving their money for something they really want - having the patience to wait for it...instead of buying now.
