[quote=Anonymous]I SO agree with "everyone has a story" and you never know just how good it is for them or what else is going on.

I have a friend who doesn't have to work, can have as many kids as she wants, take whatever vacations she wants etc. It annoys me because she brags about these things (doesn't just talk about them, but talks actual $ amounts, and recommends to me hotels that I clearly cannot afford). She's an insecure person, and thrives on the money. I don't envy her insecurity issues and the husband who is never home in time for bedtime. Everything in life is a tradeoff.

I try to remember that I have more than others do, and other people may view ME as that privileged person. I have no college debt thanks to my parents, and my husband's new job allows us just enough wiggle room in the budget for me to finally have another baby and go to grad school. I feel like money is tight all the time, but I get to have my baby and degree and small vacations while others are struggling with just food and diapers. [/quote]
