The price tag i found on an online review was 2 years ago at $6,500 so by now is likely over $7,000. Isn't that crazy?

Honestly, I'd be thinking along the lines of a loan, one that your son could help pay back. And, well, I think your h could contribute more to your household's income. It seems you take care of the lion's share of it all...

T and meds are of equal importance to me, both are vital for health and shouldn't be sacrificed. Same goes for little getaways and the like.

Traveling to Europe is expensive (I would know, my parents live there). It's a big deal certainly, but I know for myself and for many others that having had the opportunity to go is, well, something that stays with you forever.

I dunno. I guess I'm used to just making things happen. I live on a shoestring, but if I want it bad enough, I find a way.
