Also we now play a fun game - when we say "gee the Joneses have such a nice new house" we then try to guess how they paid for it? Both have average government jobs (not a ton of money) and pay for daycare and they eat out all the time, hmmmm.... Makes us realize that the Joneses are probably up to their ears in debt, and then we laugh at them. It's a fun game to play, and becomes a way to reward your own frugality (b/c sometimes it isn't so fun!). Vinegar all the way!

My favorites are Budget and Goals. While the others are important as well, having a budget and constantly working toward my goals are the two that I stay focused on the most.

I see a lot of people talk about vinegar and it's many uses. But I just don't see it as hair conditioner. Doesn't it smell? Sorry for such a silly question. Zen Quick question!

My hubby and I eat leftovers for lunch daily, and they usually make a family meal at least once a week. I do wish I could go to bed earlier though...
