I agree with these PPs. OP what you are teaching your children is that it's important to try and keep up with the neighbors/peers even if you can't afford it and are drowning in debt. That's such a bad life lesson. You are not upper middle class so stop trying to keep up the facade. I am also wondering whether your kids actually really want to go skiing etc or as I suspect you are pushing them into these things to maintain your false image. If you teach your children to live within their means then probably they will not end up in the financial mess that you are dealing with now.[/quote]

PP-- you are making a lot of incorrect assumptions. We are not trying to keep up any facade. We have cut back on pretty much everything and are leading a very frugal life (especially compared to the rest of our family and friends) and especially given the fact that we make about $280k. This thread is about people who have debt and are agressively paying it back. I think it's weird you'd think we would push our kids into skiing. In fact I pray they don't ask to go skiing, or to Disney or to take music lessons etc because it's hard to say no, but right now we have to say no.[/quote]
