@FGS: I’m rebuilding credit, so getting a loan may be tough. Plus I have nothing in terms of furniture and appliances, so I need to save a lot for a big down-payment and for all the do-dads to put in the house.
@tinyfaery: Radisdon Hotels have Sleep Number beds if you want to try it. I thought it was pretty good; but I bought a Simmons ComforPedic that has the memory foam over a denser foam, and I love it.
A house. And then a trip to Scotland with my hubby (I’ve been dying to take him there since I went 8 years ago, but we’ve never had the time or money…)
I have two children, one 15 and the other 6. I started saving for both of them, the day they were born. My daughter just learned how much is in her account and asked if she can deposit, too. She’s been holding on to money she hasn’t used for outings – the girl had $400 stashed in her room! :)
@cak Your daughter sounds like me as a child. I’d work so many odd end jobs, like dog walking, being a mother’s helper, and coat checking. I’d hoard my money in my room, and my mother found it one day and was like, “What the heck? Take this to the bank!” nd that’s howI got my very own bank account lol
@casheroo that’s her. She’s always doing things to earn money. We finally sat her down and explained what was in her college fund, and I think she was surprised. What she really didn’t realize was I started her fund when she was born. I’m glad she’s a saver and my husband is the first to admit she got it from me. I was just shocked that she had it stashed, knowingly her little brother will find money!
