WOOHOO! (I hate to shop...unless it is a yard sale!) We also go to the drive in for a movie treat. It is $14 for the whole family, and you get to watch two movies! :) I love that your son posted and you posted back to him. hahahaha

It was such a help. I totally agree that we're always looking for what we can "do" to save money, but we should be looking at what not to do! You gotta wanna. You know? You have to want it bad enough to make the change. Great post as usual! I discovered that book during the year that my hubby was out of work (for 364 days!). It was such a help.

It felt AWESOME! I called to make the last payment so that I didn't have to wait even two days for it to post. After I was through the customer service rep. told us congratulations! If being down to one credit card (and NO car payments) feels this good I can't wait to pay off the last one :) Thanks for the encouragemnt to keep at it. I am going to find more ways to cut so I can have that great feeling again :) Last week my husband and I paid off one of our two remaining credit cards. It felt AWESOME!
