We don't ...We are not rich but we are not poor. We don't have a lot of money but we are not broke. My husband is the money pincher around here and taught me not to go into debt. Our motto is, "if we cant afford to pay with cash, then we don't need it. We use a credit card mostly only on vacation or any big things that go broke through out the years. We also have separate checking accounts and split the living bills. Works great for us and never argue about money or who is spending what. We do not have any fancy things and most of our furniture is mix matched. Health Insurance takes a quarter of our paychecks!

Always good to learn how to spend just what is brought in and to save some then to try to live outside of your means.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-91255985581668537492015-02-21T15:27:23.007-05:002015-02-21T15:27:23.007-05:00I totally agree with money - debt will cause you t...I totally agree with money - debt will cause you to argue more than anything!Chatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-5087028034208536482015-02-21T15:09:12.299-05:002015-02-21T15:09:12.299-05:00Thank good I don't owe anybody.

Living Debt Free is the only way to go.<br /><br />It is so easy to slap down a credit card these days but I don't buy anything that I can't pay off by the end of the month.

I've tried not to post too many of our terrible winter as I'm very tired of it. Hope you've warmed up and enjoying the Florida sunshine !I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-59686327219976444272015-02-21T12:18:08.650-05:002015-02-21T12:18:08.650-05:00Good advise Jack, I wish I could say that has alwa...Good advise Jack, I wish I could say that has always been the way with me and my husband, but I can't. He always wanted a new car or truck and yes he always got his way. Some years ago I decided I was going to have money took out of my pay check to go into savings; he did not like the idea at first but later did the same. I handle the money now and I think I do a good job. We buy only when we have money to pay for what we buy no debts. I sure would love to get outside today, but this wind would blow me south. Take care.

We struggle with the high costs of prescriptions on a social security income. TARYTERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620999913159718018noreply@blogger.com
