"Afford" in ways in addition to money/financially - time - energy - desire -
Is the pay-off worth the time, effort, and money?
Sometimes one has to pick and choose what to do - and what to let go.
Circumstances change. This might be the year to change "what you've always done" to "what you want to do"
Just something to think about.
Not freaking out one bit. Daughter and son in law will get a queen sized bed quilt in their chosen colors, that I have been working on for a year. Husband will get his sweet treats, a donation to his favorite charity, and his fishing license paid for for 2012. Stepmom will get table runner and gift card to her favorite restaurant. Friends will be invited to open house on Christmas Eve and eat their fill and take home cookies. Life is good and simple.
