This penny pincher has no 0 balance on credit cards, paid off morgage and no car loans...I love being thirfty...I can spend more on other quality items (such as LQS material/sewing machine and travel//I buy quality but look for the best deals and don't buy things I do not need (mostly...LOL)...and love having NO debt...; ) My wedding cost $50.00 I did not want my parents to be in debt over a simple cermony...been married for 29 years and saved the money that would have been spent in a day for a house down payment. So many people I know divorce over money issues...that is one fight we have never had. ; ) and yes...I do spend alot on large purchases...but do not spend alot money on the little stuff that adds up such as clothes. (I wait for the sales) : ) Now if I only could teach my grown kids the same...LOL...

It is not our job to make cheap stuff for penny pinchers! ;-)
