I'm interesting in how others w/health issues get the help they need & deal with the expense. Please share any advise or related information. How do you deal with medical professionals, those dreaded bills & get the medical treatment you need? DH has had back trouble for years, but its finally...

i gotta get this out... i'm upset... probably at myself mostly. I'm trying to lose some weight. I'm not overweight, but would like to lose a few lbs. :) I exercise daily... I do cardio, i do weights, i jog, i do yoga, i use fun dvd's of different types - keeps me interested (and from getting...

Things were going along so nicely...the debt snowball worked wonderfully...then the life snowball took a run at us. We have only about 5k in debt...the house is paid off. I know we're quite lucky. I'm starting off with the good things because my perspective is lost... My wife's vision has...

Ok so everyone is telling this whole mess is my fault, and I'm just frustrated/hurt/fed up to the point where I'm crying. But here's the story. Ex has a cellphone in my name, been broken up for over 1.5 years. Won't put it in his name, cause it'll cost $1000 for him. I let him keep it cause...

As you know we took out a loan to buy a van in July. This is our first debt in years and we aren't happy about it, but it needed to be done. We did put $10,000 towards the at the beginning. Anyway, our goal had been to pay it off within a year. Well, just as soon as I made that goal...

I have been looking for work since February this year. I was lucky enough to find a part time job working for a retail store.. I am in no way "biting the hand that feeds me", but I really want a different job. I have only had true work experience with retail, and now that I want something more...

I kinda need to vent about this. My father had some problems with unfiled state tax returns because he was a part year resident for a few years and didn't know he was supposed to file. He put this off for years until his professional credentials were about to expire and the state wouldn't...

I know I have told ya'll that dh and I filed for ch 7 earlier this year. we reaffirmed our mortgage in the process but it seems there has been a mix up. We got a letter from an attorney representing our mortgage company talking about our house being scheduled to sell at auction. I cant get a...

Alright, I have to 'vent' a bit here...my eldest daughter decided that we should recycle, ordered the recycle bin from the garbage company, and we proceeded to wash jars, cans, flatten our cereal boxes, etc...this is when the frustrating begins! They do not accept ANY GLASS jars, even washed...

It seems like everytime I think I may be getting ahead, something pops up that uses up the extra money. I don't mean to complain. We live a very fortunate life but our debt is very large and I so want to get it down. I plan and plan. Watch every penny. Budget and rebudget. Without fail...

I just need to preface this little vent by saying that I am still dealing with my finger and can't use it much, which really limits what I do. Last year we knew that we would need to divide this one hosta plant this year. WE had the spot all marked out as to where to put it. This thing was...

I have hit a wall recently with regards to staying positive. I feel like we will never get our debt paid off. We have been working on it for sooo long and we still have another couple of years to go. Then of course with the economic meltdown, fear about job security, and the rising of...

One of my sisters is $1600 behind in rent. She complains about being broke constantly. I'd try to help her, if I thought it'd make a difference. But it doesn't... she's been bailed out before and just keeps getting herself back in the same position. She just never learns. For instance, she has...

When we first moved here 30 years ago we took full advantage of much the land had to offer. Over the years we had chickens, cattle, horses and always several dogs and cats. We didn't have much garbage as most got recycled. We burned our paper products outside or in the fireplace. What cans...

So glad to be back.....my foster baby (14mths) has been in the hospital for 3 days w/ MRSA. Its been a huge challenge having 7 kids w/ 1 in the hospital. She caught the MRSA from her dad at the supervised visit....so frustrating. Thankfully the caseworker put the visits on hold! She is doing...

I could scream. Ok, to start the week, i get an idiot troll chasing me around online. real a-hole. But he is dealt with now. Then the kids won't cooperate. Their rooms are gross. I took about a half hour in each room and came out with three big garbage bags full of crap each. Our auto loan...

Okay Hubby says he thinks we still need to spend less on food (meaning groceries) I spent in Jan. $377.25 on food (not including eating out or school lunches) If you include household consumables and health and beauty I spent $494.34 We are a family of four Hubby and me eat all meals at home...

...I need outside help to lose weight. I did WW several years ago, and I did really well. I think I lost 14 lbs in 6 weeks. That was w/o exercise too. I've been trying to do WW's home program, but I think I need the accountability. The accountability of strangers. I can lie to myself at home...

All of my children were sick the week before Christmas. It was so bad that we ended up taking my 4yo to the ER because she was so dehydrated (also couldn't walk, wouldn't really talk to me) and we narrowly missed the same fate with my 6 month old. (Luckily a little tylenol kept her in the...

Previous to trying FL, I did what my mom used to do---cleaned two rooms a day, and just kept working around the house in that fashion. Especially when I was raising kids, that worked well. That, and constantly picking up, lol. I have been using FL's ideas for about 4 years, off and on...
