I feel like I am really good at cutting costs and not spending money, but then what doesn't go into the Roth IRAs just hangs out in the money market account, or maybe in a handful of CDs.

Using debit vs. credit- I know Dave Ramsey is a huge advocate of using cash (or its electronic equivalent- debit), but then I read about strategies to use credit to increase your credit score for the purposes of purchasing a home, etc. Seems like a fine line to balance...especially with the flashy gimmicks/rewards some credit card companies offer.<br /><br />2. Investing- Living debt free is great! But what to do with all the savings? Any recommendations on a mix in this market? <br /><br />3. "The Dream"- I'm curious as to what you gals are saving for, if you're willing to share. What kind of life do you envision for your families that keeps you motivated when temptation really kicks in?<br /><br />Thanks! Great work! I look forward to the next 100!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12632776860436791463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-87515027899184081572010-06-09T13:22:56.375-07:002010-06-09T13:22:56.375-07:00I like this blog just the way it is!

Our biggest struggle right now is getting out of debt. Unfortunately for us, we are learning a few things the hard way and are desperately trying to get out of debt while at the same time meet the needs of our four children ages 2-12. "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without" is our constant mantra. We have discovered many, many ways to live frugally and continue to search for more. Any advice on how to do more with less really helps me out! Thank you for all that you do to help others.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755852259727502219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-50833476912607229152010-06-09T12:22:57.778-07:002010-06-09T12:22:57.778-07:00Yay for the 100th posting!

In addition I think you could talk about several other things as well. <br /><br />1. In the spirit of downsizing or “rightsizing” maybe there could be tips on organizing smaller spaces and how to not spend so much on expensive organizer systems. <br /><br />2. I agree with others that decorating on a budget would be a fun topic, especially for those who may not be so artistically inclined to make everything on their own.<br /><br />3. How to reasonably start planning for a family. Since I don’t have children and none of my friends do, what are all those hidden costs we should work into our budget over the first year, five years, etc.? I really like hearing your personal stories about life events.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00127558099031263126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-67842563514573296182010-06-09T11:44:46.077-07:002010-06-09T11:44:46.077-07:00This is a great blog.

I've loved hearing you guys talk about paying off debt, paying off mortgages, etc. What about investing? Any thoughts on that? For example, a lot of people tell you to dump money into your 401k, but unless your employer offers EXCELLENT matching, wouldn't it be better to get a nice guaranteed return on your money by just paying off your mortgage instead? Any advice?Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603677261111811688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-52087123775824240432010-06-09T11:32:44.855-07:002010-06-09T11:32:44.855-07:00I love this blog!
