Well. It's another Holiday Weekend staying home. I do have over 200 dollars in rewards and gift cards to use at hotels.com and we were close to booking a hotel about 3 hours away. Our friends who we planned on visiting had other plans.
Can I just rant for a bit. When I started this blog I did it out of frustration. I've said this over and over again. I was tired of the same entertainment. I was tired of lack of freedom. I was tired of the lack of money that leads to freedom. Really! Money, not always but in my case would have lead to more freedom and a better variety of entertainment. That's not to say that I haven't been blessed these last few years. I really have. I've had vacations to Disneyland a Cruise. One vacation cottage on the beach and another on a working farm. Each one had its own setbacks too. The Cruise although great was work related and somewhat Demeaning. We went with Coworkers who all started with this company within a 4 month period. They all became very wealthy within this company and my wife and I had setbacks including raising a young family and having a baby. Again although it was great, it was also hard to go with people you knew and feel like an outcast. Our sponsor within the company was in humble circumstances when she started the company just like us. She was at one point close to losing her house. When we were on st Thomas She was purchasing a 25000 dollar diamond ring without a care. Good for her but could she even imagine how we felt when not once did she ask for us to sit at her table. Not once did she have a meeting with just her team. It felt demeaning. At times my wife and I went to bed on this dream vacation with broken hearts. On our way home we really felt our place when we were placed in the very back windowless part of the plane. Even behind the 3 passengers who were friends of the company owners and hadn't worked as hard as we had to come on this trip. Plus before this trip even happened I had the worst headache and earach pain of my life which almost cancelled the trip. I bring this all up because even though yes I experienced a cruise and it was fun. It still came with alot of restrictions and complications. That's how I feel like my life is lately. Restricted with lots of complications.
So here we are another Holiday Weekend which happens to be my wife and my Anniversary. We are now finishing 13 years of wonderful marriage. It's also 13 years without a Honeymoon. We are at home no plans to go anywhere and due to a few bad months if income we also don't have the money to go anywhere. We don't have ties to family that have a vacation home. We weren't invited in on a shared VRBO. It simply sucks I honestly wish that I could just win the Powerball Jackpot so if nothing else at least I have the ability to get some of what I want.
So if your a family who is camping, staying in a hotel, invited to a family cabin, or visiting family, Good for you. I hope your at least not going further into debt doing it.
