[quote=Anonymous]I feel like our HHI is really similar to our close friends and I would absolutely say something like that camp is too expensive for us this summer or we can’t make a beach trip b/c we are trying to be more frugal this summer. I think when it comes to vacations and kids activities, there is soooo much out there that nobody can do it all or afford it all. People understand you have to pick the activities and trips that make sense. I am SAHM and I am cheaper with camp than my friends who work…no big deal. We pay for private school and have a substantially smaller vacation budget than everyone else and have missed out on group trips. It is what it is. People know we aren’t coming b/c we can’t afford it and thats ok. I’d be more cautious with turning down outings with the adults and probably try to come to one every once in a while. [/quote]
