I grew up with a stay-at-home mother that took wonderful care of us and provided what we needed. She cooked, cleaned, cared, and loved all 4 her kids as well as anyone could on the single income Dad brought in. Anymore it is tough to get along well with just one income; love can help [...]

I’m happy to say that I’m happy to hear it! That being said, the contest is giving away 3 American Express gift cards for $150, $100, [...]
One of the major goals of my site (written in my disclaimer) is to be able to give my children a better financial education than I received when I was growing up. The most financial education I have now is that I should be as frugal as humanly possible in every situation as we didn’t have [...]
We’ve had a post (or 2 or 3) go across here preaching several ways to make money online with today’s tricky economic woes. Well, we’ve stumbled across another (Thanks Pete). Pete has cashed in a few hundred dollars with the site and has sold me on it. Once you get the ball rolling, it REALLY [...]
