[quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, it's important to learn budgeting and money management, but when everyone you know skis, plays tennis, goes on trips for spring break, you want your children to fit in. Skiing and other activities may not be important to you but to some people they are important. I've accepted the fact that we won't be going skiing or traveling for a long time, if ever, but that doesn't mean that [b]living an upper middle class life with all the trimmings can't be important to some[/b].[/quote] You can dress it up however you like, but the phrase for what you're talking about is "keeping up with the Jonses." And if you can afford that, knock yourself out. But it's apparent that you can't. So stop trying. And when you get out of debt, that is not the time to start trying again - you'll find yourself in the same situation all over again. Remember Einstein's definition of insanity . . . [/quote]
