    Are we the only ones struggling financially?

    @sunflower232 We’re struggling. We have two good jobs and a low housing payment (bought nine years ago) but daycare and a few poor choices has put us in a good deal of CC debt.

    those who don’t live near family: how do you spend your vacations?

    @almostfast Yeah. This is my thing. I got fed up with us never getting a visit from my husband’s dad (despite offering to put them up and even pay for airfare) so I stopped pushing it. He’s pretty passive about trip planning so while I’d willingly go if he did the work, we haven’t seen them in...
