You're the one with the nine kids.

I don't have to feed them.

You do, but I'm scared for you.

Okay.

And I want you to get to do the things you want to do.

I'd love for you to go do that.

You can do whatever you want to do.

Y'all are adults.

You can make these choices.

You've been making choices.

But I want you to realize that when you're choosing one thing with money, you're choosing not to do several other things.

Sure.

Okay.

And so you're choosing, but if you choose to go on vacation and have a limited emergency fund, not if the emergency occurs, when it occurs, because it's going to occur.

We have nine opportunities for an emergency here.

at all times true and so when it occurs then you've chosen to leave your family vulnerable and the trade was for a vacation that scares me so you guys do what you want to do but I think I'm going on a $1,500 vacation

But we've never had a vacation in how many years?

And we chose to do a renovation or buy a house that required a renovation and used up all our money instead.

That's right.

So the vacation obviously was not as important.
