My husband an I are a dual military couple trying to retire millionaires. I'm very frugal and he is somewhat frugal when I get on his behind about :) We have a lot of stress to deal with on aside from our careers n family life. After a long day of work, exercise n taking care of our princess I realize it's not the spa or Any place expensive I want to go to. I just want to escape into our home, make us some hot drinks and curl up in his arms like a little kid :) it may sound childish but there's no ther place I'd rather be than at home or anywhere really, as long as my babies are with me. I love my little family. On really stressful days, all it takes is a smile or hug from my babies to makes it all worth the while. Oh there are days I wish I wasn't married or tied to anything. But it's the people I'm tied to not the places and as long as my people (hubby n baby) are willing to move around, all is well in the world. I just found your blog today.

I was raised in a location that put a lot of focus on money and social 'appearance'. Lots of other issues such as a traumatic medical experience and emotional stuff -- living on very low, fixed income in materialistically driven areas. Hard to NOT beat oneself up. The cure from my perspective is to get back to the OLD ways of actually KNOWING your neighbors, and something we all should have learned in Kindergarten -- SHARING with each other. Good points.
