Long time lurker, new to posting
I have lurked on this site for a long time and I have decided that I need to start posting. I am a 50 year old wife and mother to 4 adult children. I have a few debts that I want to pay off and the desire to save more for retirement. I am hoping that by posting, I will become more accountable for my finances. I look forward to getting to know all of you.
If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting.

Hi and welcome from Florida. Jump right in and looking forward to reading your posts.
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.

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

Welcome
. this place is fantastic for helping one to get rid of debt, hearing about others paying off their bills, sure gives one hope that one day they too can pay off their bills.
