[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing that always bugs me when this discussion comes up is that people will say -- oh we just sacrifice on vacations or eating out, as if its a lifestyle choice versus your special needs child's wellbeing.

For us, we have put the money into our special needs child. But the sacrifices are necessary upkeep to our home. Our hous is in major disrepair because we do not have the money for that.[/quote]

13:07 here.  I said all those things above.  What I didn't include is that our house is in need of an interior paint job.  We are going to need a new roof soon.  We have outgrown our house and need to move, but cannot afford to do so.  We need to make some repairs to the house that simply will not get done because there is nothing left after paying for all the therapies and specialized school.  We still have walmart furniture in the bedrooms.  So this is in addition to not eating out and not taking vacations so we can afford to make sure our SN child gets a proper education and can function in society.[/quote]

You can do the interior paint job yourself.  People do.  Now, roofing, yeah, that's a bummer.[/quote]
