Blog #2 Opportunity Cost

    There has been many times in my life where opportunity costs has come up. However there was a big one that involved a vacation trip.
     We struggle with money at home, (my mother and I) and last year during my junior year, my mom wanted to go to Denmark to visit the other half of our family. My mother has met them before, although I haven't. I've seen pictures of them, and we've received letters (in Danish, of course) from them, but that's all. My mom wanted me to meet them for the first time and also vacation there since we haven't gone on a vacation since I was seven. However, since we struggle with money already and college is coming just around the corner for me, we decided against the European experience because we had to save. I would've liked to go, and see the Little Mermaid and see the place where my grandpa grew up, but unfortunately that may have to wait till we can afford it.
     Because of this decision, we now have some money to go to college and not worry about it, along with my future and my career-like classes that I can study to get a job. However, I have delayed that time to visit my own Danish family, which is rather unfortunate because if I wait till later, some of them may pass and I will not get the chance to meet them.
