  • Broke again!

    "I bought all 5 of my kids season passes to Kings Dominion, reserved a campsite for a couple of days while on vacation,put gas in the mini van, and bought some groceries. Needless to say the groceries are all gone and so is the gas. Now we're struggling all over again. Yes, the money was nice for a few days, but it doesn't last long enough to make a difference."

  • Water Therapy

    "Since my husband is retired and a 100% disabled veteran he only got $300.00! Since he doesn't pay taxes any more...(is there something wrong with this picture?) I didn't make enough from SS to pay taxes either so I only got $300.00 (hmmm children who never worked got that much!) but I don't want to seem 'ungrateful' because we indeed appreciated the money and did our part to stimulate the economy!

    We bought a 'whole house water filter.' It will save us money eventually on buying those expensive refrig. filters! We also plan to spend the balance on a pool cleaner a real luxury for us, as my husbands service connected injuries include a really bad back, so this will eliminate having to spend at least an hour each day pushing that pole around the pool..now he can actually get in it and exercise! (uh, me too )"

  • I bought a divorce

    "I bought a divorce, and used the money to refresh my attorney retainer. I wanted to buy myself a set or rollerblades. I heard that they were fun and portable exercise to take anywhere. I envisioned myself skating during my lunch hour, or longer paved trails on weekends. Instead, with the retainer secured, I will skating out of this marriage. In the long run I know it was money well spent. "
