How do we afford it? We save every penny we can. We don't go to movies or rent videos (DH falls asleep in the theater, and there aren't many movies I want to see anyway), our son is grown and married with his own family so I don't have to support him. We don't go out too often for fancy meals. Our entertainment is our vacations. We also don't use credit cards, so when I get back, I don't have bills to worry about!
