It feels like everything that exists these days is to drain money from me. Tourism is out of control. I don’t even want to travel anymore. Video games, kids sports, eating out… It’s all overly expensive just because they can.
It’s frustrating.

We’ve worked hard at maximizing the money we spend. We get a museum membership for a birthday every year and then use the passport program to visit other museums for free. Plus the membership does swaps occasionally so sometimes we get a month of the botanical gardens, aquarium, or zoo for free too. One of my hobbies is amusement parks, which is obviously expensive, but I get passes that work for many different parks and we always pack snacks and meals. We’ve also been spending a lot of time at playgrounds too. We invite a whole playgroup and whoever can make it will come and it’s a lot of fun. We try to limit our consumerism because it’s definitely everywhere
