[quote=Anonymous]Looking at your budget, your spending is reasonable, but there are definitely ways that you can cut down. You probably could eat more cheaply - more beans, less meat for example. Sometimes it takes major sacrifice to break out of the cycle of debt and build personal equity. I am a child of immigrant parents. When they came to this country, they had their educations and eachother, but not much else materially. My dad worked 3 jobs and my mom took care of the kids. They became part of the upper middle class after years of doing this and spending very carefully. At DC's daycare, I talk to teachers who have recently immigrated. They live in basement rentals and watch every penny in order to secure a better future. I'm sorry that you had to go through such an ordeal with a sick child. I hope your DC is better now. Having to worry about the financial stress when all you want is to have your child recover is so painful. [/quote]
