[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 357640, member: 6546"] Jody-- I understand the pain that comes from not having enough to give your kids the life they deserve--the things you want them to have. I can't tell you how many events have come and gone where I've felt like a complete schmuck for having to watch my pennies over every little thing... on the other hand--I have been amazed at what good life lessons those have turned out to be for my kids! My children are going to be so good at managing their money it's not even funny! They have learned that you must put necessities first and "wants" second. They have learned that if you choose one thing now--you may miss out on another thing later. They have learned that almost anything can be had for a fraction of the price. They have learned that "designer" vs "off-label" doesn't mean much. Sounds like boyfriend was just worried that you were letting your emotions dictate your financial decisions....and was worried that you were putting yourself in a bad spot. I think I'd keep him...
