I’ve had some ups and downs financially. Really high, highs and really low, lows!
During one of those downs I took my kids to Taco Bell for a “treat”. I could barely afford a few 99 cent tacos. A friend joined us for lunch. She talked about a great new place for lunch and invited me to try it one day. They had the best appetizer and it was only 125 dollars. (125 dollars! Lol) I swallowed my bite of bean burrito and reminded her that we were in Taco Bell, because I have no money. She looked confused and said I know that’s why I invited you for lunch.
I laughed! She looked even more confused.

I can relate, been there and it’s not a comfortable feeling, although I didn’t have kids to support, so bless you! There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

You know your limitations, so best wishes on keeping it between the white lines. My wfie told me she and girlfriends, when short on money, would go to a restaurant bar, order one drink and eat a meal on the free appetizers. We both have had our share of Ramen noodles and for me Kraft Mac and Cheese. Take care, BTG
