How far would you go to make or save some extra cash? Christy calls her husband, Joel, the ultimate cheapskate. She says they never go on dates, and the last time she received a present from him was four years ago. She says Joel is such a tightwad, she even had to buy her own wedding ring! Then, Nichole says her sister, Amber, is so addicted to cold, hard cash that she even took a dangerous job breathing fire and married a man for $5,000. Amber admits she’s stuck in a vicious cycle and says she can’t get out.Will she be able to change her money-motivated lifestyle? Plus, meet a woman obsessed with scratch-off lottery tickets, and a mom who worries she’s raising a money-hungry son. Talk about the show here.

You don't have to..........

Quote From: debrasatt

 I can spell.I just more often then not hit the wrong keys.Then I forget to use the spell check. As soon as I went through the bills and did a debt analysis.We went on a debt diet.We have no more credt cards.We got most of our rates down. We live on a budget.We our almost out of debt.As for my h he has come to the realization that his needs come last.The kids come first I come second.That is needs not the fun suff.We do fun stuff when we can aford it.Right now I am tring to figure out how to fit braces,college,a working car in to our budget.I am not a uneducated person although I did not go to collage.I did graduate from high school.I would sometime in the future like to go to a technical school.I have my hands full at this time getting my three kids through the maze of this school system. All fo them are on I.E.P.'s.I cannot at this time aford to go back to school.I am not stupid person I just made a mistake at a young age out of high school and married young and stupid. My friend likes to say at that time we all married stupid and young it was back in the late 1970's when evryone I knew was getting married right out of school.So I did to.Not to say I didn't love him.We both needed to grow up.I did I learned to stand up for myself and my kids.I found my voice.I use It alot now.We both have to agree on the big items or he gets into trouble with me.So he spends nothing that will cost alot or we have a chat and take it back.He know consults me on the spending of our money we set down and go over our bills.I am not uneducated just a bad speller on this thing.I was a very young bride to a very young stupid man.He now sees the light..I have advised my kids that they must be out of college traveled all over gotten what the want out of life.And have a good career and money.Before they get involved with a life partner.The older you are the more education you have .The better you will be at coping with what life has to offer.I am not saying toget married and have kids well into your 50's.But I think it is better to wait to get married in your mid to late 20's or even in your early 30's.I will go back to school at sometime.I am a good speller just a bad typer and spell checker.Not all of us can type with perfection

Justify anything. Because you don't spell right or use spell check by no means makes you "stupid".  I learned a longgg time ago others will find fault where and whenever they can so it's pointless, as well as a waste of energy, explaining/defending to others what truly doesn't matter :)  You'd be surprised just how many people can't write but can type with precision using their handy spell check and Word programs! 

 

Best of luck to you with the children with the school system, don't back down until they create the most useful IEP's for your kids.

what is your weed killer

I also make my own weed killer but it sounds like yours works better. Also, there are many FREE ways to give gifts. I do it all the time. I give coupons to my son, like this is good for one room clean, one sweep of the kitchen floor etc... For my husband I make love notes (use your imagination) There are many ways to give free things, make supper for her. Give her a work free day where you do all the work and she gets to sit and do whatever she wants. My husband gave me one of those days and it was awesome. Think about it. Just trying to help.
