It's hard to see that chunk fly out the window but I have to keep reminding myself that this is a gift to my children. Dama and I both came out of college debt free, him with a Masters. It's a gift I want to provide our kids too and that keeps me from the panic :)<br /><br />Money is definitely one of those topics that can be divisive. I hope you can find that comfortable middle ground with Michael. I send positive vibes your way.<br /><br />PS: GET is fantastic :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725021146119828745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820613110394685444.post-16521270303369867222010-04-29T09:33:54.245-07:002010-04-29T09:33:54.245-07:00We don't have the money to purchase our kids c...We don't have the money to purchase our kids college years in one swoop, but this year we finally signed up for the GET program and will purchase at least 2 years of college that way over the years and add more points as we can. It's definitely a financial burden in some ways, but it does feel good to know that we are helping ourselves out in the future. Finances is something that Michael and I struggle with together as we both don't always agree on the best approach. I'm MUCH more frugal than he is and his spending habits bother me sometimes. We've been trying to get on the same page and it isn't easy for us. The bigger issue is that I want to be home for the kids as much as possible and Michael would like for me to start working again, even just part-time, but I'm not sure what I want to do or what kind of job I could do part-time that would still allow me to be home with the kids as much as possible.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633849034279365635noreply@blogger.com
