I think the truth is a good story. You were talking to someone on the internet who lives and Florida, and that person knew your vets, and couldn't stop saying nice things about them. I think they have something for you. It's a nice compliment to them.
My husband and I have the same bills problem. I thought it would get better after leaving Louisiana, because he makes more in Florida. But I had no idea how much more expensive life can be in another state! Now I miss my low mortgage and low taxes and no water bill (part of the Beau Chene fee). My husband has felt better about our situation, and been a little more workable, when I've expressed concern about the money. But bottom line, I keep having to ask him to transfer more money into checking, and he doesn't want to. And of course, I spend all the money because I pay the mortgage, the car note, the electric bill, the insurance, etc. So anyone can see that I am wasteful. But he gets his Starbucks every morning and eats lunch in restaurants every day, while I make my coffee and have yogurt and cereal for lunch.
We will have to meet when I go to New Orleans next. But it will be a while, because my daughter will be coming here for the next visit. Probably will not be until she finds an apartment in August. I'd feel funny visiting her while she is living at her friend's parents' house. Miss those beignets!
