    I’m curious how you can be in that situation but still have to watch what groceries you buy. I can only guess you live in a high cost of living area and/or have a lot of debt to pay off.

    I’m single, no kids, have my own house, and also in my 30s. I don’t have to watch what groceries I buy but I do anyway. I’d rather spend that money on vacations.

    I’m in an above average situation but definitely not rich by any stretch of the imagination. I still have to budget if I want to take most any vacation. That can get expensive even if it’s some place you drive to.

      If we knew we probably wouldn’t still be in this situation.

      The opposite. We live in a black hole of such low cost that it’s basically impossible to leave without already having a job offer from somewhere else.

      We haven’t been able to afford a vacation in 15 years together there is always something else we must spend money on.
