I hate these articles. I wonder if this family is also subscribing to HD TV? Or putting mixed-grade or premium gas in the car? Or making unnecessary home purchases on their credit cards? Just because they're working hard doesn't mean they could be saving a few bucks. And to be honest, they should be closer to their goal of purchasing a home given that prices on the real estate market are now lower.

It's a nice sob story, but doesn't explain all the facts. Of course you can't fit all the facts into an article like this, but all I'm saying is take it with a grain of salt.
