[quote=Anonymous]Well, I haven't experienced but I watch a good friend go through this everyday. It's her family too though so it's doubly bad. Her DH just can't accept that they are not as well off as his parents were and despite overwhelming debts and lack of cash he still insists on private school for their 3 kids, expensive sports camps each summer and very nice vacations. I have watched my friend literally gripped by panic attacks as she pays for lunch or coffee because she just isn't sure her credit card is going to be declined. It's sad but I don't think she wants to give up the pretense of the good life either so she just deals with it the best she can. What I can see is going to get even worse is when her kids get to college and they are nearing retirement. Her DH [/quote]
