Stop Reminding Me About The Reality

I still don't understand how people can still take trips and sip cocktails at the Ritz-Carlton. I've stopped watching NBC's "Today" show. The anchors are so negative that it's depressing me. Yes, I know it stinks right now. I don't need them to tell me. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just the two of us. When you have children, it changes everything. I'm holding off buying new shoes, but their feet grow so fast. I've always been rather frugal when it comes to buying their clothes: we shop at discount stores, second-hand stores and watch for sales. In the past it was just because they are so hard on their clothing. It's not worth it to pay a lot of money for shirts and pants that will come home from school with paint or marker stains or a hole in them. Luckily, they have stopped asking to eat at McDonald's. Why don't these morning shows talk about what we can do to save some money here or there? Please start my day with some happy news instead of reminding me of the depressing reality. Of course, these shows might be running these stories. I just don't know because I'm not watching anymore.
