Q7-If you are referring to your child as “the kid” and raising him or her as “looking after” then you may want to focus more on centering your life around your wife and child rather than moving and taking on more stress beyond your current situation. You can make all the money in the world, but it won’t matter if you aren’t a good father and husband.

@K
I’ve thought the entire ‘eliminating clutter saves money’ series has been a huge stretch.

since we are all here, why does having a paperless filing system make me save money- it is a big jump to no paper record clutter to saving money.

Why not just buy frozen veggies? Freeze dried has to be more expensive than frozen.

Thanks, Riki . . . That is what I thought, but I wasn’t sure. Traffic has slowed to a CRAWL here. Quite sad.

If you have to ask permission to have a life outside of your relationship, it’s probably time to get out of that relationship.

Short posts seem to be the only way to get through moderation. Nothing else goes through.
