UGHHHHH! I want to scream. I figured some people here may be able to commisserate. I have had it with the clutter in this house! We are actually in a condo... we have very little storage. My husband works alot, and I work less than part time. Maybe 10 hrs every 2 weeks. Which is fine.. but...

My hubby and and I just bought a used RV and plan on living in it when he retires this year. We will be selling and getting rid of almost everything. I'm beginning to feel free already. I've been saying for years that we don't own stuff it owns us. The Lord has allowed my family of 5 to spread...

I live and shop in the land of no doubles, so I only receive face value of the coupon. This total reflects every time I used a coupon in 2011, which includes groceries, health and beauty, eating out, ink for the printer, etc. Total before coupons - $10,095.50 Total spent out of pocket -...

We are facing a hard situation. My pregnancy has hit a bump in the road that cannot be overcome. We went in for our 20 week ultrasound to find out how baby was doing and what the gender was. Unfortunately, the answers were "Not good" and "couldn't tell." The kidneys were what they called...

I know it has only been almost 2 years since we bought our van, but it feels like we have been trying to pay this loan off for forever! Finally I can see the end is near! Dh will get paid for coaching softball either tomorrow or in 2 weeks and that should be pretty close to our payoff amount...

Since September me & DH have been struggling with money and keeping up to date with everything and we haven’t been able to save anything as well as having a credit card go over the limit and having another hitting the maximum limit, as well as driving the car into the back of another car (it was...

At least of Baby Step 2... ;) We have been saving a larger EF for quite a while with our move from another state, settling in, and getting job stuff sorted out with my dh. But it's settling, and we're ready to go back to our $1000 EF to kick the rest of these debts. As it stands now, at the...

with my DH company!! I am going to try to keep it short and to the point. Let me start by saying he is Union and they are of NO HELP!!! His company is apparently not doing very well and for the last yr or more I have been dealing with my health and prescription coverage being canceled at least...

My inlaws did something that I found admirable, and we began doing it also, as a married couple. It's a year-end review. Basically the review is a listing of debts and assets, along with ID info. For example, my inlaws had CDs at various banks. They listed the account numbers, plus the...

All we need now is a TV to hook it up to! ROTFLMAO! If you've never seen one, it's a little converter box thingy about the size of a sandwich. Lets you watch iTunes movies or Netflix on your hdtv. DH is going to try and hook it up to one of our computers.

i just saw this movie on youtube and it scared me after watching this movie-end of liberty-are we really free or is big brother trying to control all aspects of our lives. i don't know anymore but i know that the world is going to h$%l in hand basket and America is on a path that will take us to...

Do you know where your deductions are? There's only one month left to make your tax deductible charitable contributions for TY2009! I can't wait for tax season! :cheer4: Yes, I am a sick puppy. lol

Called End of Liberty. Get Ready for Higher Food Prices Due to Falling Economy They have a part where they are talking to a guy about how he noticed that food prices have gone up so he started stockpiling and he shows his stockpile and it's impressive lots of info about inflation. We really...

Today at Goodwill I found the Snow boots Little Miss is needing. They were Lands End snow boots in her size and they were purple. $3.50. Only pair of snow boots they had. Little Miss had requested that I try to find a girl color this year. This light purple definitely fits the bill. :hurray:

Hey everyone! I have a few questions and was hoping that if I threw them out there I might get some insight from some of you. I lost my job Feb of 09. I have been unemployment since then. I have spent every day, including saturdays looking for a job. I have submitted roughly 10 resumes and...

I broke up with my bf of 4 1/2 yrs last night. I know it was for the best but it hurts so bad. I just want to run away or sleep forever. :cry:

I called my favorite greenhouse before I left today to find out if they had raspberries yet. Apparently, no. They didn't get in. I was fine with that. I then call back and ask about gooseberries. Sure yeah, the guy said, we got some in today. This was 2pm that I called. I finally make it down...

Hi All, Can someone please tell me there is a light at the end of this horrible debt tunnel?! After years of discussions, arguments, etc., dh and I are finally getting on the same page about eliminating our debt. Within a week of of committing to this, Murphy has tried to run us over!! Sick...

The joyride is over. Another good reason not to use debt if you have an option - and you do have an option. We could be looking at the eventual return of double digit mortgage rates. If you have a variable rate mortgage, GET RID OF IT NOW! Refinance to a fixed!!!
