Girl, you & me both.
I am soooo sick of living paycheck to paycheck & frankly, had I not married my AH & dealt with his crap for so long, I would be at least $10k richer today.
But...I've no choice but to keep doing it until such time as I can pay off bills & actually get ahead, rather than saving a tiny amount per month that has to go to baby's things, or groceries, or whatever the next month.
You are doing the best you can.
That is all you can do.
I know it's frustrating & you look around you & everyone else seems to have it all, literally.
But you are doing the best you can & that's all that can ever be expected.
Try to find solace & enjoyment in the little things. You ARE traveling, even though it doesn't seem like the kind of travel you want. You have support & you will pay it "forward" when you can. Or pay them back
.
Hugs.
