Your money or our's

mommey20032005 @mommey20032005 (264) • United States 14 May 07

I don't know about other people, but when your partner asks you to marry them everything becomes our's. Thats what I think. My fiance thinks other wise, since he is the one who works. and i don't because we can afford child care,...

beckyjo You're not overreacting at all. You're either a team or you aren't. You need to be on the same page about money before the wedding bells ring or you're in for a rude awakening! More divorces are caused by money issues than anything else. Read Financial...

beckyjo I haven't read it myself, but my husband said that The Husband by Dean Koontz was great. I've never seen him read a book that fast before, so it had to be pretty darned good! If you're looking for an old book that's worth reading, try Watcher by Koontz....

beckyjo I can't help you with the $3500 unless you or your dh want to get a second job - maybe delivering pizzas or babysitting or both - and sell anything you can! But you really need to go to www.daveramsey.com and take a look at what he has to say. He has helped...

beckyjo Congratulations! That's a major accomplishment in this day and age! My DH and I have been married 17 years so far, and expect that it will be "til death do we part". Of course, he's out of town almost all the time, so it's pretty easy to get along! LOL

beckyjo I'm raising one of my grandsons. His dad is just not able to cope with full time fatherhood. His mother was mostly out of the picture by the time he was a few weeks old. I've either been babysitting him daily or having him live with me his whole life. It's not...

beckyjo I'm sorry that I don't have any advice for you. I can offer lots of sympathy, though! My sister and I have both been trying to lose weight and can't get anywhere. It's crazy! I ate right - small portions, healthy meals, etc., and I exercised at least 4 times a...

beckyjo My 3 kids were all natural with no drugs. This was many years ago, so the docs kept wanting to give me drugs. No Thanks! I managed just fine without the "help". My first grandson came all natural, too - and he weighed 11 lbs, 8-1/2 oz! I was there in the...
