AAAAAAAAAHHH, there is no better feeling that keeping a zero balance on a credit card! (Even if you have to scrimp and save and cut corners to do it!) Thanks for sharing your views...especially since they're views that I share!

So smart.My husband ...I LOVE your way of thinking. So smart.<BR/><BR/>My husband and I are starting to take money out of each month's pay this year just to budget for Christmas. That sounds crazy to me. We kept track of how much we spent this year so we would know what to budget for next. We don't spend a lot on each person, but we have a lot of people we buy for. <BR/><BR/>I wish everyone would agree to one year of no gifts. Just family and friends hangin' out. Wouldn't that be grand? :)<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871309696357938457noreply@blogger.com
