Vacation ? Not for me any time soon

January 24th, 2007 at 02:12 am

I do not understand why people who are financially strapped always go on a vacation. I have a friend who owes me $50 who has been having problems (financially) and is going on vacation the end of this month...thank God she called today to tell me she has the money she owes me so I will pick that up on Thursday
Then I have another friend who is really in a financial jam but she is going on vacation for two weeks next month because she needs a break (mind you she doesn’t even have the funds to purchase the kid’s ticket, because she is trying to get the ex to pay for it). She is also planning a trip to Europe then ask me if I wanted to go, when I told her no because I am saving for a house she says "well it should not be that much" and then I said it is if I am saving for a house because that is money I can use to put towards my house

    Uhhhhhh, that's why they have financial trouble!LOL No, really. For some reason, they just don't "get it". I know people just like this. I just can NOT lend them money. In the past I have, feeling sorry for them. But, I finally came to the conclusion that I'm NOT helping them out. It's better for them to have to suffer the consequences. Like a child, it's the only way they can learn.

    My ex loved taking vacations. Of course, we were financially strapped so most of the time, I told her that it was not a good idea.

    Not that I don't enjoy taking trips myself! We've taken a few and had a great time! Seriously, who wouldn't? And yet, I was always being blamed, like I was the bad guy because I wouldn't take her somewhere. I kept telling her that I'd love to, but we can't afford it right now.

    This issue was such a big deal that less than a month after we were separated, and she started seeing this new boyfriend, and I'll never forget the way she looked at me and said, "This guy takes me places. He take me skiing. And he doesn't even complain! Why couldn't you do that?" Nevermind the fact that we were still married, and I was trying to patch up our marriage! Nevermind that she was also technically committing adultery but would never admit it.

    I just... don't understand at all.
