Travel plans up in smoke

I decided to cash in my last investment, enough to pay a round trip ticket to Paris, France. The check arrived, then my youngest daughter called. Guess what happened to my money? I was very disappointed but she was in desparate need. Boo hoo. Have to save save save.

Oh how familiar. I am forever helping my 2 daughters out. They do pay me back eventually but....
Wouldn't change them for the world though. My son will never ask for help!

You are a very kind and caring parent, and with having to help out my children too, I know the sacrifices. Hopefully you'll get to Paris next year, good luck!

Oh dear.......Money doesn't go far does it, and when you have family, there are always changing priorities.
I do hope you manage to get your planned trip (have you got any jewellery or maybe some old ornaments/paintings that you wouldn't miss which could be sold and go towards Gay Paree holiday?) Or what about a temporary job - Proof Reading/Holiday Cover/Invigilating at exams....
Do whatever it takes - it's your time. Good Luck Jx
