We are in a situation where we lost our house 2 1/2 years ago so we have to rent for now. We live in a suburb of Minneapolis and we are paying 1,100 a month for a 3 bedroom track style home. We also have a full unfinished basement that our boys are in right now. We are thinking of moving in July...

Hi, I'm new to this site. I was wondering if anyone might have some info about how to find out about renting a small parcel of land to start a produce garden? I have a small gardening business to grow enough produce (tomatoes, peppers, onions, cabbage etc) to sell at our local market. I'm...

We have about a year before my husband's next duty station which is likely to be Germany but we won't know til close to then. Our home is a late 90's manufactured home with a 2bedroom addition on an acre in a small town. Some of my family does live in the area so in theory we could have people...

My dh and I have been mulling this over. We would like to buy some land, but it is so terribly expensive here. We know of a few families that have expressed interest in more land for gardening than their backyards can accomodate, so we were thinking that this might be an option. I know in...

Hello, I'm new here. I've recently been reading about financial management, being frugal, and early retirement. I've come to the conclusion that I've been an idiot with money over the last few years. In my favor, I've been living somewhere that made it difficult to pile up debt. I have a...

Here is the situation... We have an opportunity to move out of State and live close to family. The job offer is most likely not going to happen again. A few close family members are getting ill, our children don't know many of them (they are 8 & 9). Current job situation is this. I was put...

Hi. I'm new to this forum and to Dave Ramsey's system to find financial freedom. I hear so many people say that buying a house is a great investment and an asset. But, I'm not completely convinced. If the key to financial freedom is to have no debt... Why purchase a house that I can not afford...

Hello everyone. I have not been on this site in a bit. As I wait for my house to close escrow, almost two weeks late now, I'm wondering what to do in the future. I'll have the money to buy again if I want. Right now I love renting and I know I'll love it more once the load of that house is off...

I don't watch much television, but I enjoy an occasional movie. I'm wondering what is the best way to rent DVDs? I don't know if Netflix would work for me... because I might want to watch a few movies one week, then none for a few months. Are there any mail-order clubs like Netflix, that...

Part of what has gotten the economy into such a mess is the belief that everyone should be a homeowner. Everyone from the government, to the mortgage brokers, to the banks, to the realtors and the homebuilders thinks that everyone in this country has the “right” and “duty” to own their own home...

Anybody ever go into one of these centers and ask the prices? Be sure to sit down when you do. :laugh: Years ago when I first got married and money was tight I went in to inquire "renting" a washing machine. By the time all payments were made it was going to cost in excess of $700. I said to...

Has anyone ever rented a timeshare for vacation? If I understand it right, people who own them may not be able to use it at that time and may rent it out. We are looking into going to Destin, Florida for vacation and renting a timeshare seems a little cheaper. Stephanie

I was going through my library a bit ago, when I noticed an old grocery receipt from a year ago which I had used as a bookmark. It was quite the eye opener and an education in some black and white realities I have been trying to avoid. Prices in my area have really climbed since a year ago. As a...

I am moving out September 30th. Tomorrow is the first of that month. I would like to stiff them there last months rent. I plan on paying it in a few months. What will happen to me? Will I get my security deposit back?

I need some opinions on what I should do with this one: I came out to leave for work today and my car was gone. I found out that the landlord of our property had my car -- and several others towed. It wasn't because I had been violating a policy that I knew of. They changed the policy so...

This year we decided to rent a site. We got a really sweet deal on it. It is costing us less than a weekend trip away from home paying a hotel. We have always camped, but less and less, never staying more than 4 or 5 days. Now that we have this site we're out every, and I mean every weekends...
