    Default Gee...FV is really busy today

    Hmm...I noticed today that there are A LOT of new people here at the village.  Do you think it's because people spent too much money on Christmas and now are looking at ways to cut back?  Or, is it because it's a brand new year and people want to get out of debt??

    I noticed that too Shannon. I wonder? Do you think they made that their New Year's resolution to be debt free?

    It is nice to see so many new faces joining us.

    Well, maybe all the new people will post something here. Yes, it is nice to see more people online. Also, perhaps people are on vacation right now. I'm on vacation so I have more time than usual to spend online. The village is turning into a city overnight!

    We love seeing all this activity at any time of the year. However, I do hope it's because they want to get rid of their debt and learn how to be frugal. Along with that, I'm sure many have lots to give to us in ways of wisdom and help as well.

    Welcome to all the new members. It's great to see you here.

    I think it's funny to see how active we get right after the holidays. Hopefully you all love it here as much as I do!
    As you can see we are a popular place this time of year. Notice when I joined?

    It's a great surprise! I hope they all jump in and get busy on the things that trip them up. I know I need to re-focus yet again.

    Hi from a newbie! I actually joined a while ago then somehow, I forgot about this place **bad girl**

    This site is just so fabulous I have no idea why I let it slip from my fingers before.

    I'm starting to post more and learning so much. 2006 will be the year we get rid of our debt!
