How Do You Save Money?

candygurl24 @candygurl24 (1880) • Canada 19 Jan 07

There are many methods out there to save money, but this discussion is not about how to save it while shopping etc. It is about that little change jar in the corner, the methods that you have to save up extra cash that you already...

sassymoon Nice topic. I save money by "trying not to save money". I'll explain. I used to think that if I went to sales (midnight madness sales, weekend sales, payday sales in the mall) that I could save money like that. Well, I always ended up buying things I...

Giving up myself for being a mother

kidsrock @kidsrock (64) • United States 4 Jan 07

I'm not sure if it's my age...just climbed over thirty, or the passing of the year but I woke up in the middle of the night and thought to myself...why isn't anything about me anymore? I'm sure there are a lot of other women out...

sassymoon your post is timely as i've been thinking about this too. one big fear of mine is waking up 20 years later, kids all grown, and me not knowing what to do with myself and not even knowing what I like/don't like, can/ can't do anymore. worse, waking up next to...

Do you think Self Help Books are actually helpful?

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 13 Jan 07

I used to read a lot of self help books. A lot of times, I found they were really so generalized that they couldn't help me. Currently I'm reading "Get Off the Fence!" for tips on how to make major decisions. So far, it seems...

sassymoon I have read quite a lot of self help books. There are some which are full drivel, but there are also a few that really make you think, and make you look at a particular thing in a different way. In this sense, they're helpful. We can't really make...

sassymoon concentrate on your career first. if you two are really serious with each other, you will be supportive of each other's dreams and ambitions. your boyfriend doesn't want you to leave the country, but what about what you want. meanwhile, what if you two break...

"Our" Money

kristypants @kristypants (305) • Canada 18 Jan 07

If the husband is out working and the wife is a stay at home mom, do you think it should still be referred to as "our money"? I think that just because being a stay at home mom isn't a technical job, it's more work than alot of...

sassymoon I pity the wife whose husband thinks like this. Being a stay at home wife and mom IS the wife's contribution to the family. Anyone who has tried this will know that it involves more than staying at home, watching television the whole day. Moms of preschoolers...

sassymoon I also thought that I would never use a leash for my kid, but at the bookstore a few days ago, I lost sight of her and I got so terrified. She's at the age where she doesn't like to sit in the stroller for long, and when you put her in a cart, she wants to...

sassymoon Where in the Philippines are you moving to? Since you already know English, language is not much of a problem since most can speak English or at least some English. Where do you plan to move to? The busiest city is Manila. Malls, nightlife, bars and...

sassymoon There must have been a reason that the UK took you in as a Highly Skilled Migrant. Maybe the UK is in need of your particular skill, or else why did they even let you in if there was no need for your particular skill in their country. Keep at it, and be open...

sassymoon I didn't understand it either, until I watched a korean movie about 3 years ago. I was so impressed with the production values, and quite fascinated with their storytelling style that I decided to watch another one. Then another one. I guess I was lucky that...
