hello I am new
Just want to pop in and say hello. Thanks to the dis boards that sent me this way. We are a family of 6 on a very tight one income. We have 4 kids in a Christian school, 2 HUge car payments and I am trying to make our budget work. Did I mention I love to travel. I also save up each year to go away with the family on vacation. SOOOO I could use some frugal help... (Im am pretty frugal my self though )

Hi, and welcome from Florida !! Hope you enjoy it here. It's addictive.
Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.
