Of course you have something for staying in the motel . . . bedbugs!
We just traded or TT for a fiver a couple of weeks ago for under 16k. We have 2 children that love to camp and enjoy boating. Truck is almost paid for. We can get 2 days of tubing/skiing on one tank of fuel in the boat @ about the same cost of the four of us eating out at a nice restuarant. So we don't eat out as much. Living in AR we have plenty of lakes within 100 mi to choose from. Wife and I both work hard to enjoy these things and really like to get away for a week or weekend when we can. We have had to make adjustments, but for us it is worth it for the memories and time spent with our children. Not bashing those who are getting out, just glad I don't have to yet.
