Questions!!!

**Daisygirl** · 06-11-2006, 05:27 AM

This place is the greatest -- I have already made a lot of changes and come on here daily to keep motivated. But I have some questions.

Is there any place on here that explains things like the Change Jar Challenge, the No Spend Challenge, etc.? I guess they are kind of self-explanatory, just wondering. Secondly, could someone translate the abbreviations like DD, DH. I am afraid I don't speak computer that fluently.

Thanks for such a wonderful website. I prayed for some help and this must be it. It is changing my life.

Welcome to the village.

The challenges are all stickied at the top of each forum they are in. The change jar challenge - you save your change. The penny jar - you save your pennies and then at the end of the year, you can add them up or add them up as you go. The no spend challenge - you try to see how many days you can go in a month w/o spending. The only thing we don't include in it is bills, medications and food.

For the abbrev:

dh - dear husband or you might think of a few other words
dd - dear daughter
ds - dear son
btw - by the way
FYI - for your information

HTH - hope that helps.
