shihtzumama @shihtzumama (290) • United States 6 Jan 09

So at Christmas this year we were all gathered at my mom and dads. My grandparents were in town from Arizona. They are in their late 70's and early 80's. My parents are in their early to mid 50's. So we were all sitting around...

Malls and Lifestyle

bantilesroger @bantilesroger (341) • Philippines 6 Jan 09

rashmi1979 I sometimes liek malls because I can finish all my shopping at the same place in a day from end to end. However, they definitely lack uniqueness; products are over packaged-over processed and not to mention transported from all over the world. I still...

do you use a separate coin purse from your wallet?

oyenkai @oyenkai (4394) • Philippines 5 Jan 09

rashmi1979 I do not use a separate purse for coins. I have a neat little pouch in my wallet and I store my change there and keep emptying it into a cardboard box set aside for change. We usually empty that out once a year by donating whatever is there inside in a temple...

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12588) • United States 6 Jan 09

I would, and have. My family currently owns 2 used vehicles. We bought them out right. It has certainly saved us money. Not having that monthly car payment has been a blessing more than once. A good friend of mine recently spent...
