Marlina @marlina (154131) • Canada 12 Sep 16

Those shoes were made for walking and they sure do their job! They are not expensive shoes but they were bought for walking inside the house and they do just fine. My poor shoes are getting old though and I will soon need another...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 5 Nov 15

When I was in So Cal, my cousin talked me into joining a gym with her. We went and worked out and did yoga classes together. We did that for several years, and then I hurt my back. Shortly after that, I moved up here, and I...

If your culture didn't propagate credit, would you still be doing it left and right?

Artgirl @owstalaga (4707) • Philippines 10 Oct 15

Maybe I'm just not too capitalistic and am not an expert on business but the concept of credit is something I don't really like. It's a risky thing I don't want to get into that much. Sure I have a credit card but if I'm not able...

stealthy A mortgage is the only debt I have ever had except for a car a couple of years ago which they would not sell me unless I financed it; I paid it off almost immediately. I have never had any credit card debt for instance. If I can't afford it, I don't buy it.

In the past week there was a news anchor in North Dakota who was fired for uttering two of the 7 words (according to George Carlin) you can't say on television (or on MyLot). What the guy did seems rather stupid. He was going...

stealthy Besides setting aside some money to go into savings, one needs to watch their spending. Many spend on things they don't need or don't bother to spend carefully on the things they do need. Some ways are to buy when things are on sale and stock if possible and...
