I read the great thread on bucket list and thought, I am so lucky to be doing the things I have, before I am older, retired, kids are grown or mortgage is paid off. Vacations are a priority. I cry like a baby about buying the $1 item in the 99 cent store but in the same breath will book a vacation at $$$ per day or be away from home, several times per year.
I can't help but feeling a bit guilty that I am close to so many people who could use my help, not out of greed (many of those too) but need. Not so much in Jamaica but here in the US. This feeling in some ways dampens the experience.
