Personal Finance (Not Investing) • How much cash do you save each month?

During summers, we actually operate at a modest but noticeable loss each month due to the high cost of weekly summer camps. (4 kids - 15, 8, 3.5yo twins). We are generally able to cash flow most of this through the strategic use of grace period float on credit cards although sometimes we'll draw down the emergency fund. From September through May we have a small surplus of under $1,000. I have come to live with this as the season of life we are in. On the plus side, it is good practice for paying for college for the older kid, as we pay far more in childcare now than we expect his education to cost even at an expensive private school.
