Well said.
Ouch! Be lazer focused on stop spending and pay off all debt in a few years, and the stress will be less!
Consistent.... Like consistently eating beans and rice at home until debt is paid off. Travel for the weekend contributes a pattern of consistent spending while in debt.
Such an entrainment mindset is what keeps poor people poor. It's kind of like telling an alcoholic who's already drunk they have the right to another drink. Yes, they do have that right, but it won't end well.
In Los Angels, I enjoy the free Ghetty Museums (advanced reservations required), Griffith Observatory, and Forest Lawn Cemetery.
In San Diego, I, too, recommend walking and taking in the architecture and a museum in Balboa Park.
