[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I totally understand. At least next year if they try to do it you can say "Last year we spent over $2,000 to do the vacation you wanted and I was happy to do that to celebrate your retirement. But this year, we're going on a little family vacation to where we want to go." Or something like that. I am going to wind up spending over $3,000 for a cross-country trip in April that[b] I don't want to do, but it would be wildly inappropriate if I didn't, and would damage relationships with the family I'm closest with, so I am trying to think of it as investing in relationships important to me.[/b] [/quote] Yea I'm done with this line of thinking. Life is too short to be miserable. I did this for years and I'm over it. I have learned to stand up for myself and say simply, " No, thank you."[/quote]
