[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]No eating out. No vacations. No activities for your kids. No splurges. No new clothes. No going to the movies. No replacing things that get broken that aren't necessities. No upgrading phones. No streaming services. [/quote] This is how I grew up. Nice house. Nothing else. It also means extreme stress in every recession or downturn. Even as a kid, I constantly worried that we'd end up homeless because there was no padding. It was our really nice house or, if my dad lost his job, our car.[/quote] OP said it would be tight for a year or so. I agree with you if it’s for several years, but I’d happily forego a year or two of vacations and extras to trade off for a house. Especially now that we’re home so much. [/quote]
