So much labor! The amount of work I have to do to make sure I don't have to spend money when I'm out of the house. So much planning, not just in the packing up, but also in stocking my house so that I can pack up everything we'll need for an outing because food from the grocery store and water from home is so much cheaper than buying anything on the fly. Packing for a trip is exhausting, but I'd sooner die than have to buy a cheese stick or a bandaid at the theme park price. My brother-in-law is so freaking chill because he uses money to solve all his problems. Cold on your trip? Buy a jacket! Spill in your car? Through a car wash! Headache? Buy the single packet of Tylenol! Hungry? Buy lunch wherever is closest! Don't like the taste of the beer you ordered? No sweat! Buy a different one. I wish I could be non-chalant like him, but if I want to have half the experience he has, I have to put in so much work up front!
