Literally that same thing Beryl, you never know how people are paying for things. I would suggest getting more financially savvy, learn hacks for getting things cheap or free or discounted! That’s helped me at times when I wanna travel for dirt cheap. There are so many ways to travel too, some of my friends have traveled to other states, stayed in hostels, and just kinda learn as they go. Traveling isn’t always glamorous or cute, but to me, it’s not about where I am staying, but where I am visiting.
Free things you could do: picnics at the lake, beach, park, your yard, or even in your own home if you can host is so fun! Here in SD, on Tuesdays they have free or discounted museums for locals, so if you have an ID for San Diego county, I believe you are allowed in for free or discounted. And i know this is mostly for balboa park, idk if it includes other things. Also literally looking up free things to do in SD, you’d be surprised at what you find.
the you don’t know how they’re paying for it piece is SO REAL the amount of times i found out ppl were in crazy credit card debt and/or that their credit card bills were wiped away from the bank of mom & dad made me feel so much better during skinny cow times. i’ll take my 798 credit score over a “cool instagram” ANY DAY OF THE WEEK 💅✨ (bonus thought: i love the skinny cow fat cow analogy)
the skinny cow/fat cow thing really shows i'm still a child of jesus in my heart hahahaha. nah, i just really love the story of joseph. my fave bible story. but you are so right. so many of my friends are like that, even in their late 30s. it's... it's all an illusion. so much of it is an illusion.
