Quote: I LOVE that quote!!! And yes! Definitely check those bulk prices everyone. I use to assume that buying in bulk was cheaper, but I also found that it's not always the case. I do like how Kroger (others stores probably do it too) tags break the price down into 'per ounce', etc., so...

Quote: I know they say "Never say never," but I really can't see SS checks being neglected - I personally think it's a scare tactic.

I've seen others mention him, but just wanted to put the name out there again for interested folks to check out Dave Ramsey. Listen a few times to his radio broadcasts, try The Total Money Makeover (book)..advice for folks struggling with getting out of debt, and celebrations for people who've...

Quote: I think it's great that you and DH are younger, and starting to think this way. Some folks I know think we're odd, because we don't buy into the whole "keeping up with the Jones'" thing. But when you get to the point where you have no credit card payments, no car payments, no mortgage...

I was so happy to see other Dave Ramsey fans on here. We became debt free two years ago, including our mortgage!! I'd strongly encourage others to look into his program. What's a bit sad (DH and I were just discussing this the other day) is that despite having no house, car, or credit card...
