Sometimes I look at the rising costs of everything—groceries, summer camps, after-school activities—and I honestly wonder, how do people afford this? It feels like every time I turn around, there’s another expense waiting for us. I try to budget and plan, but the numbers just don’t seem to add up. It’s exhausting and, honestly, a little overwhelming. I know I’m not alone in feeling this way, but it can feel isolating when you’re trying to give your kids the best and still keep the lights on. Has anyone else found creative ways to make it work? Let’s share ideas and support each other! #FamilyFinance #ParentingStruggles #RealLifeParenting #Parenting
