I've been wanting to Board & Batten for a long time now. I fell in love with all the rooms that have been re-done in it, and posted allover the net recently. But along with my long list of "wanna-dos, that goes along with my tight budget, I kinda put it out of my thoughts at least for now. But...

I have friends that really want to prep and get ready for unknown disasters, EMP's, and possible economic collapse, but their significant others ( mostly the wives ) just wont have anything to do with it, and deep down think they are crazy. I try to give them advise, but I am afraid I am running...

So what are your/your families favorite board/card games to play? My 6yr old daughter and I like Skipbo alot. I also like Uno and sometimes a game of scrabble is good (although we need a new one because our board got bent and our letters like to "travel" lol) What is the one board game you...

There use to be a message board for Dave Ramsey followers, it wasn't Dave Ramseys, just members who created the board...does anyone have this website? I use to be a member. I figure between frugal village and there I can get back on track with my budgeting and frugal living. Thanks :)

It has been 8mos and DH has had one uhoh moment. That is actually really good for him. He is cutting down on smoking and has tried to sell a few things. He picked up a side job and gave me a little blow money. He also did a side job in exchange for a much needed dog pen. He has been content...

Good Morning! I would like to bounce an Idea off the members here, my reasoning is so many people here have given excellent advice in the past and I would like honest Opinions. My thoughts are being drawn to the next 10 years (a 10 year plan if you would like to call it. As some of you know...

I'm having a hard time w/ my DH. He "says" he's on board, but I want to do "envelopes" and he says, "We've tried that before." He says, "If I have the money I'll spend it." I say, if you use a debit card for lunches or snacks "every once in a while" I can't keep up with it. He says "I...

that I mentioned posting on. I am SO done with it. I just don't understand why there have to be people who just want to be nasty to others. People who can't just answer a fun question, but instead have to pick the post apart and be nasty. I am so tired of people being nasty to me so I'm...

Ever have odd game pieces? I know you can get replacement pieces for some games, but I mean when the board game is long gone and all you have are pieces and parts. I've seen people make i Spy jars and jewelry and that's cute, but any other ideas?

I am in my late forties and I have been thinking of going back to work since my son is old enough to stay by himself some (12.5 yrs). What is your advice to someone my age going to lpn school and becoming a nurse. Am I too old? Could I physically hold out to do the job? Would I have problems...

My name is Sharon and I'm in debt. I feel like I'm at an AA meeting. I bought an audio copy of Dave's book back in January or February. What he said made sense but I didn't get on board right away. I've been listening to his podcasts and he's been sinking into my brain. I bought the MTMM...

We sat down and made a budget for Aug. using a spreadsheet from www.climbingout.net. I think it is mid-way down the right of the page. The spreadsheet overwhelmed DH at first. I am the nerd and had to read the How to Use page more than once. DH really liked the Cash Flow Planning page. It...
