Ok, I am a bank teller and I hear that money is the dirtiest thing that we will ever touch. I only wash my hands about 4 times during a 5 hour shift. I don't think that is bad. If my co-workers grandkids come in, they know the...

5WaystoSaveMoney I agree, it is a tough job raising kids properly. I wonder how my parents did. It is also very rewarding. You have a front seat to watching a human being grow.

5WaystoSaveMoney You are lucky that you could be a stay at home mom. My son is school aged and after I come home from work, I have to do homework! Those worksheets can be very frustrating no wonder the show "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?" is so successful! LOL

5WaystoSaveMoney Yes, I see your point. It seems modern conveniences make things the same or just as busy.

5WaystoSaveMoney This is a tough topic to answer. I feel the same way at times. Since you feel so worried, call the kids once or twice while they are away with you ex. Just to say hi, I am thinking about you. This is what I do and it helps. Also, while they are away get some...

5WaystoSaveMoney Potatoes are my favorite food too. Especially, the fried variety. Have you ever had ice cream with potatoes such as french fries or potato chips? Delicious, I must say. Try it sometimes.

5WaystoSaveMoney You make an interesting point which is why I wrote this topic. Why do you think the more you chase money the farther away it seems? Yes, must people want an unlimited amount of money, but only some people will put in the time and sacrifice it takes to get more...

5WaystoSaveMoney I agree with your best response to make a list on a tablet and complete each task by priority. However, I would take this a step further, by identifying what are your goals regarding being an at home Mom? Is it to stay home and take care of the kids only? What...

5WaystoSaveMoney It definitely is a personal choice when deciding whether a job or personal small business is better. I recently read an article in Money magazine about the risk and rewards of owning a small business vs. being employee. They found it is better to own a small...

5WaystoSaveMoney First let start by saying, kidkirstie is right you need to stay positive. Regardless, of how you look you only have yourself. I recently tried a diet where I ate healthy for 30 days and was never hungry. I lost 7 pounds without really trying. If you want to...
