[quote=Anonymous]I just don't know where it start, we seem to be budgeting properly, but the money is just not there.

School - We have had to send precious to public school. The crime and drugs are just everywhere I can't have this. How will our baby ever get into a top college without taking all AP courses and being in a good school district or private school.

Cars - We have to go down to only one car. No Lexus SUV for me to drop the children off. The other day I had to ride the bus, gross.

Vacation - No more trips to the beaches of Europe. How will my children ever become cultured or have stories to tell during college admissions. To think we can only afford a weekend trip to Williamsburg these days.

Retirement - We can't max out both 401ks and IRAs. We need at least $5M to retire comfortably, we are going to be in the poor house otherwise.

College Tuition - No more 529 to cover full tuition. Our kids may have to pay their own way through college or god forbid go to an in-state school, so ghetto. Without a free ride from us how will they be able to stay focused.

Food - We are eating non-organic and sometimes processed foods. I can not have my children growing a third eye due to all the toxins in this food. Without going to quality restaurants my children will look like barbarians at fine dining establishments when they grow up.

I just find it amusing when people think things in life are a "need" not a "want" to have for budgeting evaluation. Suck it up butter cup and live within your means even if it requires only having one or two of the above luxuries instead of all. [/quote]
