that's it, short term loss, long term gains. This year, cancelled hunting lease, sold boat, really cut back because my daughter needed tuition money. It was the right thing to do, but at the same time I made those decisions, it wasn't a discussion. Wasn't her idea.
That way a few years down the road when we have the means.....and I say "I want to do a guided elk hunt in Colorado/Montana" there won't be any push back. Especially if I bring her and let her sit in some ski resort sipping hot cocoa by the fire while I'm out romp n stomping. GIve and take.
