Idk if it is a sacrifice per say, but I tuned down job that would have been a 12k a year raise because it would have required me to be vaxxed.
Fuck that.

I fed my 2 daughters from my body and sacrificed career and education for them. Now they don't speak to me because their liberal bullshit.

Very sad, I have talked to many people in the same boat.

If they are younger than 35, there is hope that the hard reality of life will show them their error and they will drop that. Keep loving them and be patient. If they are over 40, they are lost causes.

I don't know if it counts as a sacrifice but a few years ago I had to abandon/give away over 90% of my belongings because I was taking a plane to another country to live a new life and could only logistically bring what I could carry on my back and in two suitcases (one for each arm). Almost everything I'd accumulated from clothes, to books, to tools, to furniture and all the little good-for-nothing items (i.e. memorabilia, etc.) over several years was left behind.
Felt sad as I was packing all my shit, it took a few days, but when it was over I quickly forgot about it and felt a certain lightness to my existence that was wholesome, and relieving. It was a shock to remember just how useless a lot of the things we carry around are, or how easily it is to start over with close to nothing.

I don't think this is very significant to me, but everyone in my family does, and they're onto me about it every holiday now.
Turned down a free full-ride to a university, offered by my job, about 3 years ago. Why would I subject myself to that caliber of wokism and humiliation? Also, why would I do that, when already I trained myself in the skills I wanted, and already have no shortage of work?
B-b-bbbut you'll have a piece of paper with fancy letters on it and get to hang with the degree snobs!
No thanks.

A family and a satisfying career for being brainwashed into thinking getting high and drunk is cool.

One year my electricity went off, and there was five pounds of bacon in the freezer. I had no way of keeping it frozen, so it thawed out. After a few days, I was afraid to eat it, so I threw it away.

Shoulda grilled it and gave it away.

I sacrificed too many of my fertile, childbearing years in college and then as a public school teacher. I had my first baby at age 29 and realized I really enjoyed motherhood and wished I could've had more years with my children had I started earlier.

In order to sacrifice something you have to admit that you own it.
