Don't worry about me-you know I can argue a case when I have something to say!
Lightning is used to getting a negative reaction out of people-he/she counts on it. He/she doesn't seem able to handle a simple debate though.

Well, I guess I should defend myself although Staci has done a pretty good job of that for me.
I can't sit and post my life story or every situation that got me to where we are. You can't possibly judge anyone without knowing what's going on, and just get a few financial facts.
I said "ouch" because yes our car payment is big, it's our family vehicle (dh has company truck), and it IS a trailblazer, but it's only $10 more a month than what we were paying for a ford focus. DH had bad credit, I had none, so in turn we got a HIGH interest rate. It's not that we are driving around in a Lexus, we got a car to fit a family of 5 in with not so good credit.
As far as my WAH job goes, there is NO way I could afford daycare, gas,etc, as Staci explained. I was just a SAH mom, and when money got tight, I was fortunate enough to find a WAH job. It does NOT pay a huge amount, but it is a job, and I manage to work 5 hours a day WITH a 4 year old, 2 year old, and almost 7 month old. It's no easy task, but I do it because we do need the money. I'm sorry that I don't fit everyone standards, but if I work in the home or out of the home, I'm not just laying around and charging my life away...it's not how it happened, and again, i won't tell my life story.
I am very frugal as far as everyday things go. I cut coupons,I make my own baby food, I make my own laundry detergent, we never go out to eat...those are just the small things i skimp on.
Anyway, thanks for all of the kind responses. I wish i were rich with a great white collar career, but that's not the boat I am in and this is what I am dealing with now.Comment

You're me, 3 years ago... My kids are 7, 5, and recently turned 4. I think that is why I stepped in!
