In contrast, by my registering for reward program, and clipping coupons for most of our married life, our family enjoyed vacation upgrades, choice dinners, and live shows. When it came time to help our youngest son with college expenses, the economy was on the downslide. Hubby and I both worried how we could possibly be of assistance.
