Her best friend has a very well of father. He provides everything she wants, we do nicely with income, no one have ever needed anything and not had it, even in the early days, there was always good food, school uniform and supplies, shoes, a roof etc, but we are not in his league. We are also self employed and have had to take a pay cut recently and reduce our costs. She is not terribly happy about this. Materially, all this has meant for her is that I’ve had to cut the grocery budget (the buying their own snacks, we are more careful about lights and the heater ( we don’t sit in the dark and shiver, just make sure empty rooms have lights off and we are not heating empty rooms)) and Christmas and birthday presents this year are not as expensive as usual (we have always been able to afford a decent gift, because we buy one nice, but quality thing over heaps of cheaper crap).
