Due to a range of events, we're in a difficult financial situation now. Not in poverty by any means, we have a roof over our heads and food on the table, but two young kids and no idea how we're going to afford all the nice little extras as they get older, let alone holidays.
We both used to be in high paid jobs so never had to worry about that, but a few bad decisions and health issues make this seem unlikely to be the case again.
I have so much to be thankful for, but I need to learn to adjust my expectations and attitude.
