    Money and Contentment

    I just have to say that I feel for OP. Here is someone with an education, a degree, a job that can be stressful, and is trying to provide for her kids and struggling to do so. The price for everything is through the roof. Gas, groceries, clothes, it's all ridiculously out of hand. It just...

    Expired kohls cash...yes or no?

    My mom tried to use her expired Kohls cash last week and they told her in the past they would take it, but they are not allowed to do it anymore, and they did not allow her to use it.

    Suggestions for next years vacation...

    I'm a planner too. I have next years spring break all booked, and also sprig break 2016 (booked on a cruise). I've asked people to join us on the cruise and they all basically think I'm nuts planning for 2016 already. My suggestion, although I have never been, would be San Antonio. It has...

    Pictures of your "mickey money" savings containers

    com/user/corinnalv/media/imagejpg1-2.jpg.html][/URL] I also bought a jar from a craft store and scrapbook stickers. It started as a Disney Dollars jar, but I use it to save extra cash for all our vacations. We just got back from Utah so it's a little low, but we are heading to WDW in April...

    Help me with cell carrier decision please

    I just learned about Republic Wireless. We also just prior to me learning about them, upgraded phones and had to re sign our contract with Verizon. I'm kind of disappointed because I probably would have switched to Republic Wireless. They use Sprint and will also ping off of Verizon where...

    Oasis or Freedom

    The reviews are good to hear. We sailed on the Carnival Breeze in December, loved it so much, came home and researched our next cruise before we had unpacked. We are booked onto the Oasis of the Seas for April 2016, with connecting balcony cabins overlooking Central Park. Our motto in our...

    If You Could Go Anywhere.....

    For those talking about cruises, we went on our first over New Years, on board the Breeze. We went to Cozumel, Jamaica and Grand Caymen. We loved it. We came home and started researching our next cruise right away. Lol. We are booked on the Oasis for 2016. Cannot wait!!

    If You Could Go Anywhere.....

    Yes!! It is the best place ever! We have only been once, for a week, but we would both go back there in a heart beat. It is beautiful, fairly close to US (3 hour flight from Dallas), native language is English, they take the dollar, the people are so friendly, and warm, sun, beaches and clear...

    Las Vegas on a Budget

    Since your DH likes the west, you should stop in Oatman, Az on your way to GC. It's a little cheesy, but cool at the same time. Burrows just wander around the town with cowboys, then a staged gunfight breaks out, very Wild West.

    Envelope System

    I know you didn't ask me this, but for me we have some categories that get funded from paychecks only once a month, others twice. We get paid twice a month. So the first paycheck gets separated into certain envelopes, the second pay check of the month goes into some of the same envelopes as...

    Las Vegas on a Budget

    Have you ever been to Ethel M's? That's free too. Walk through the cactus garden, and then go inside and watch them make chocolates, and get a sample of course. :)

    Las Vegas on a Budget

    I would flip it, 1 day at GC is all you need. 2 days at Zion would be better. Zion is AMAZING! We are going in July, have been several times before. Fremont Street Experience is a GREAT thing to do on a budget. It is free to roam and watch the canopy show. The only thing you will have...

    Envelope System

    Yes it makes perfect sense. It's always easier to swipe then to hand over cash. Nothing leaves your hand when you swipe. I've been using the "envelope" system for a LONG time. I use the cash envelope system only for groceries and mine and DH's personal weekly allowance. The rest I use...
