While I am not a big spender by all means I still somehow manage to run our CC bill up a little higher than I like by the end of the month. (I would like to see a -0- in the new purchases column- lol). We do pay our balance in full each month and others seeing the numbers would probably...

I was talking with a lady who swears she heard "someone" speak about the economy and how it is going to be in 5 years. She claims that in 5 years 70% of Americans will be unemployed and the other 30% who are working will have to take a pay cut. I have not been able to verify this information...

I joined FV in 2007. It took some doing but now I am used to living on a budget and willing to go without or make do with what I have instead of running out and purchasing something I really did not need. The most important lesson I learned however is to plan and think about the future. The...

I decided a while ago they don't really work so I don't make them. To me it's just one of those things that makes you feel badly when you don't quite rise to the occasion and follow through with whatever it is. I just try my best and if I don't like whatever about myself or something tomorrow is...
