[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a single mom on a decent but not lavish income. I get a teaspoon of child support but no actual physical presence in my child's life from his father. I have a very limited support system and take on a lot emotionally and physically taking care of my child by myself. Since I work hard and work a lot, my splurge is our vacations. I spend thousands every year for 2-3 nice trips. These give me and my child time to get away from the hard grind of our daily lives and focus on our bond. I consider it money well spent and don't regret a dime of any vacation $$ I've spent. Our memories and time together are priceless. My second splurge is our home. I bought at the top of my affordability range to make sure we are in a safe area with excellent schools and close to major job centers. It has worked out well and I have no regrets, even though I do still cringe at my mortgage and tax payments sometimes. But the peace of mind is worth it. Thirdly, since I have limited time, I splurge on healthy prepared meals for us. I don't have the time to cook a lot or grocery shop, so this has helped save my sanity.[/quote] You sound like a good mom. [/quote]
