We are having a bit of heart failure at the total cost of our next adventure. We did some adding and figured out how much money we have spent on travel while living in Japan, it isn't pretty. We had intended to save as much money as possible while living here so buying a house wont kill us when we retire. While we have saved a bit, it is a little bit of a shock to think of how much we could have saved. Mandy will be going to college in three short years as well, I sure hope she gets a scholarship. Looking back we have decided we have no regrets. We don't have any debt, we have a bit of savings and we are seeing the world. We will have to work until we are 90 but we can look back and remember the time we saw the Great Wall of China.
I am glad I am married to someone who has the same vice as me, travel. I wonder what is your vice? What do you spend too much money on?
It is fun living on a military base, all my neighbors make approximately the same amount of money as we do. Everyone spends their money differently. Some have great furniture and beautifully decorated homes, some go back to the US a lot, some have big savings accounts, some have really nice cars, I have none of that, but I have been a lot of places.

I Think I May Have A Screw Loose

I saw my podiatrist yesterday. One part of my foot is still hurting (it's
been almost two months since the surgery). He thinks it may be one of the
screws ...

Food. Food is definately one of our vices (of course, all the food allergies help in that department too).
Other vices - crafting supplies and scrapbook supplies. I try to be careful and frugel, but it still costs a lot.
Unfortunately, we do have a debt -- a lot of debt. Nearly all of it medical. It would be REALLY nice to not have debt.
And music. Cds and live music.
(but we don't spend as much on that as we use to)
Oh I think you already know that I'm a yarn junkie!
And lipstick. Oh boy, do I love to buy lipstick!
