Can’t Afford It

We do it all the time, especially as parents.

We say we can’t afford it. Whatever it is. Could be money. Could be time. 

We say it because it’s irrefutable. It’s a get of out jail free card. But it’s usually not quite true. 

What we really mean is we don’t want to prioritize the money or time. We’d rather spend it on something else. 

It’s healthy to occasionally rethink our priorities.
