    Default i'm working here.....

    because i have learned so much from you guys here at the village and i am saving 'tons' of money -- i have decided that when i am at the village 'i am working'....(right about now sara & gabe are probably saying...hey....you don't have a clue lady...) haha


    WE ALL LOVE YOU SARA & GABE.........

    so when dh says "what did you do today"...i will respond..."well i put in 10 hrs time at the village today"

    the paychecks are rolling in steadily (re: savings from my 'education')...(hey...that's 'tuition re-imbursement' at its finest)...lol

    and now i no longer feel guilty about too much time in the village...after all...everyone feels sorry for the person with the 80hr workweek....lol....

    great idea - shall add to my way of thinking so I don't feel guilty about being at FV too long!!
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    If tips from FV save you $100 a week, that's a part time job's worth of income at minimum wage!

    I know it's saved me a heck of a lot more money than that...

    Now if I can just convince the social security dept to accept Juju...

    oh i do believe it has saved me much more than $100 a week....

    even if i made NO changes...sitting here in the village has kept me OUT of the stores...that should be worth something.....

    i have learned how to drop my utility usage to 1/4 of what it used to be...

    i have learned how to make my own cleaners....

    you guys have me doing more scratch cooking....

    i don't eat out hardly ever anymore....

    i have learned to 'practice' the mantra 'reduce, re-use, recycle'
    (which spins off a whole 'nother cataory)....saving money on trash, new purchases, re-purposing my own clutter....

    my competitive nature keeps me going in the 'challenges'...i like to have others to compare to and be accountable to...(dh is no fun)...lol...
    and this in turn...saves me 'boatloads' of money.....

    plus...all my new friends....THAT is PRICELESS !!!..... i finally have people that i can have the 'kinds' of conversations 'I' like to have...

    OH YEA>>>> and all this is TAX-EXEMPT !!!!!

    hehe, when dh sees me at the computer checking in at the village AGAIN and asks me what I'm doing I always say "research".

    Funny but also very true!

    I call it doing *my research* ......
    I figure as long as I am learning something, it's all good.
    And it's really neat to be able to bounce ideas off like minded people.
