No room in budget for vacations -- it is now a "challenge".

August 18th, 2011 at 03:31 am

Running new numbers that include daycare (even the cheapest one in existence) brings home the reality of how tight our new budget will be come September.

We will have to cut back on a bunch of things to simply stay in the black and not spend more than we make per month. It is pretty close. So we can't have a designated budget line for trips like we used to.

Paychecks are now designated for other things. Vacation savings will have to come from "other" or "challenge" money. If I spend less on something else, cashback, something unexpected, etc...

We have a designated account, and it has some money already(we haven't used it in a while) but it is not enough for our vacation plans in 2012. So now it will be a challenge. I don't want to give it up, it is important to our family.

The financial part is in addition to the challenges of taking a vacation with our little one.
