This is a very funny blog post. And sad. And I want to soothe poor trying-to-be financially-responsible Victor's soul. Okay he is married but we all would love him here. Be forewarned ... some adult language and I didn't even read all the comments because so many had really redunant chicken...

So we have new neighbors. They paid a whack of money for the house next door and are doing about $50,000 worth of work on it, as far as we can determine. Of course they want to 'work' with us. We are hesitantly enthusiastic. We just don't have their resources, being a one income family...

Hello, My name is Graci and I am a Spend Thrift. I am no longer in denial! I hide behind a smokescreen called Frugality. Why do I say this? I have been tracking my spending. The first step to wellness is admitting you have a problem. The second is taking measures to solve the problem. I...
