I've been a member here for a while but I haven't been posting much in the past 2.5 years. I went back to school to get my Associate Degree in Nursing and I am proud to say that I worked my tail off and I graduated with a 4.0. I took my state boards on Tuesday and yesterday I found out that I...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if I could get some advice as to my budget plans for my future. I'd appreciate pretty much anything you can share with me, both negative and positive, as I'm still young and not as experienced. Just a heads up though, this turned out to be a much longer post than I...

Thinking ahead 'cause its what I do. In a couple of years I will have another spare bedroom. This one is located in the basement which I don't frequent. I already have one spare bedroom that I'm using as a computer room/library, I'm in there all the time and love it. I don't do crafts. I...

I call it a small victory of sorts. We put $500 on the VISA the other day, which was 1/4 of what we owe. We also put $389 on the Best Buy card, which is 2/3 of what we owe on the Wii. The Wii's interest-free period ends at the end of November, but we'll have it paid off before then. The Best...

I've always wanted to live out of the city. I hate the noise, the lack of privacy. We did live on an acreage, but it didn't work out. We found that it wasn't for us at the stage of our lives. Kids needed to be with more people, at least my older 2 require more people around them, my younger two...

Today I opened a savings account. ( regular savings and only $50.00 ) but hope to add to it every month. Thats a very big step for me.

There was a question on the Q and A board about our childhood and if we were raised with a frugal mindset. It looked like a lot of people that responded said that they if times were tough as a child, they didnt seem to mind. I'm wondering if our kids will feel the same way though? I mean, DS is...

I'm not sure what forum my question fits in so here goes. Does anyone have any specific thoughts on planning for the future of a special needs child? She is 14 now, and has physical as well as intellectual issues that will most likely prevent her from ever being truly self sufficient. My best...
