I need a calculator to make sure I am right...I am so bad, I know.<BR/>I am taking this all in today-We don't pay the boys for doing jobs here-we all live here, we all work here for free. However-birthday money adds up, and I never know what to do with it, and a huge spending spree is not on the list... so this was so helpful. My husband is great with money-but he made me pay the bills when we first got married because I had no concept of money, so now I am a big saver for the rainy days...I just don't know how to teach the kids-so today was so helpful...When is the book coming out???!!!Ruby Red Slippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621982878908986308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042120035321046999.post-35922997555335146552009-03-30T18:22:00.000-07:002009-03-30T18:22:00.000-07:00You always have great ideas.

Great post! I hate it when people don't know how to count back change. I especially hate it if they miss how much they are supposed to give in change and then get totally flustered since heaven forbid they have to think for themselves!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04190561501190804078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042120035321046999.post-85336190367189610252009-03-30T09:08:00.000-07:002009-03-30T09:08:00.000-07:00Thanks for the info!!

I remember the week I took my daughter to college (back in 2001), there were booths of banks there handing out credit cards. Kids were lined up at them. It amazed me. These kids didn't have jobs, they were going to school.<BR/><BR/>My daughter has a couple of friends that are now (seven year later) filing for bankruptcy because of the amount of credit card debt they have.<BR/><BR/>No wonder our economy is so screwed up. Grrrr!<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the rant...Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904565419263482091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042120035321046999.post-13677433664290056812009-03-30T07:42:00.000-07:002009-03-30T07:42:00.000-07:00I totally agree.....
