New here
Hello
My name is Amanda and I live in Colorado Springs. I gave birth to my first child October 22nd of this year. Parker is ten weeks old today. Beautiful little guy
Christopher is in the Army going on nine years now. He turned 26 right before Christmas, and I turned 25 September 7th. I am in a lot of debt, with very little chance of ever getting out of it without bankruptcy. He doesn't have much debt, but has horrid credit due to his ex wife.
2010 starts in less than four hours, and my goal for this year is to get us both in a FAR better financial situation. I hope this website can be a big tool in helping us get to that goal.
Thank you

Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

Hi and welcome from Florida. There are alot of people here, myself included, that have really hit hard times in the past year. Start reading, start posting and start asking questions. Many, many wonderful people on here. Jump right in.
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.
