Well, as much as somebody who works full time is ever able to be. I don’t want to have a full meal every time my stomach grumbles, so to avoid the cost and caloric implications of café and gas station snacks, I pack my own in my suitcase and throw a few in my purse when I leave my hotel.

My biggest financial regret is the amount of money we spent on restaurant meals from the time we were married and both working full time to when we had kids. He says we were busy building the house and our careers and it was money well spent because it freed up our time. Alan doesn’t share that regret. I ran the numbers.

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). When we do stop, my pro tip: Don’t use gas station bathrooms (unless you’re at a really nice toll road stop, and then they’re okay!)
