That’s my era. Sorry but, I stand by my comment
Surely, hope you didn’t misinterpret me as suggesting to grievously spend money due on essentials for a vacation.
I, nor none of my friends in the same boat at the time ever separated money we personally earned and what was deposited in our bank account by the court. Bills & whatever non vacation savings goals were always paid out of the same pot. Whatever was left over then went into the vacation fund. We even had a swear jar!
Obviously, some people find themselves unwilling or unable to meet their obligations. They aren’t in this particular equation. I’m talking those who can reach for it with some effort, as in saving up via cutting back on other wants.
It’s certainly more difficult to do Disney on a dime now. The easy helps are CS bs TS, one souvenir per child, etc lots of sites out there, including this one with good suggestions
FYI I had to fight to collect any court ordered child support. Also, worked two side hustles in order to provide for any extras until I found my soulmate who treated my monsters as his own.
