Learn from experts- who have been there!

I personally feel that schools teach us too little about personal finances and money management. When I graduated from college, I thought, well, how do I know how much I should spend on my apartment? entertainment? a car? insurance?

Needing (desiring?) to know this information, I started reading every book I could get my hands on - including Dave Ramsey, Suze Orman and Mary Hunt. I thought this was a great link that I came across today about Mary Hunt's personal story. Her story shows that there is hope for all of us.

Enjoy!

Thinking ahead: Christmas

As we approach the holidays, it is time to look at gift giving. I just found this great site where you can get gift cards at 1/2 price. Check it out: http://www.halfofftwincities.com/.
