Ivy and Carson, who have two toddlers, live on Carson's single $80,000 per annum income while Ivy stays at home with the kids, her maternity pay which ended six months ago. Ivy will soon be returning to work, but that will be short lived as she is once again pregnant. They are still spending as if they had Ivy's income. They are highly family focused, which includes buying organic and fair trade, largely for health reasons, at whatever the financial cost to themselves, and at whatever price.
