We can’t live our entire lives like we’re on holiday

[Itswhatshisnameoffwhatdomacallit]

I live abroad in a tourist area. Different family members/friends come over to visit regularly, some stay with us, some in a hotel etc.
We enjoy it and love seeing them, but feel pressure to be meeting up for lunches, dinners, drinks, days out as though we’re away on holiday or entertaining at ours and we just don’t have the budget at the moment.
What would you do about this situation? It’s very awkward when people come over with all their plans, suggesting this place for lunch or this place for a day out, when we’re just living our daily lives. We haven’t put aside/saved up holiday money to have a good time every time and budget enough for weekly shop, petrol, bills etc, the same as others would back home.
We understand their excitement and would love to be going out spending and having fun, it’s a bit embarrassing tbh, what do we say when they ask? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Didn't you post about this the other day? How many times you should meet up with visiting family..

In my opinion, if you are putting someone up in a nice holiday location, for free, then good manners dictate that they go out a couple of times to pick up breakfast (fresh bagels / baguette / coffee or similar) and then take you out one evening for a very nice meal, which they pay for.

They then use your place as a base, but don’t spend every evening sitting with you, or expecting you to take them out.
