The first year we went to Jamaica 17 years ago I was debating whether to spend the money. A lady I worked with that had been going for many years told me to just go. Her husband had had a stroke the year before and between his health and medical bills, etc they were losing their house and could no longer go. She told me that the memories she made there would be something that she treasured no one could ever take away. She was right. Not saying that anyone should choose Jamaica over their home, car etc, but if it is just stuff especially no longer used are worth getting rid of to go make memories.
