MeredithRX We have been using his plan for a year and a half and have paid off all of our debt besides my student loan and have saved more than $20K for an emergency fund. It has been a lifesaver for us! His plan is just common sense. But, breaking things down into...

dopey22girl I prefer debit card because then I am only allowed to spend the money I actually have. If I used a credit card I know I would spend a lot more than I should, with the attitude that oh I'll pay it off later. And that would not be good! Lol. Also if I used a...

sedel1027 @sedel1027 (17846) • Cupertino, California 4 Mar 07

I have looked at both side of this. My husband and I currently have no retirement fund set up. With making the money we do, we do need every cent we make most months. Regardless, when my husband was single he acquired this habit...

melanie652 Invest in the 401k. You can never go wrong investing in yourself and in your future. Even $50 a month will go a long way over the years towards your retirement. The money can be put in the 401k pre-tax. Meaning no taxes are taken out on it and it actually...
