I just can’t believe it.. here we are living in a state that has an all time low unemployment and some say is having a lone depression and what does our “wonderful” governor do yet once again? Yup, you got it… she decided it be best to fly over to Italy and Germany in hopes of talking some [...]
I was talking to my friend today about how bad Michigan is doing financially. Paul actually went to Lansing today to talk to someone that deals with property taxes and found out more companies than we knew were moving out due to the high taxes here. My friend said something about maybe it would be [...]
While I enjoy listening to Dave Ramsey and agree with just about everything he says, I do had to admit there is one thing that we don’t follow which I know he would say we should. Ok.. maybe there is more than one as we did work at paying off the house instead of putting [...]
I must be bad luck this year. I’ve gone on two vacations and both times I ended up having friend pass away due to cancer. While it’s hard seeing someone old pass away to cancer, I can say it’s even harder to watch a mother of 2 young children pass away as well, and that [...]
My husband just read how Michigan’s unemployment is suppose to top 15% through 2011!! This year alone we (in Michigan) are suppose to average 15.8% unemployment this year.

No wonder people are moving out of Michigan [...]
When people want to update say their living room the first thing that comes to mind is “it’s going to cost a lot of money”. That doesn’t have to be the case. In case you like the way your couch sits but your sick of looking at that color, you could always buy a new [...]
I’m not happy to say this, but Michigan was the first state in 25 years to hit an unemployment rate over 15%! We hit the 15.2% mark and it still sounds like the worse it still yet to come here. (Jennifer Granholm was right during the last Governor elections when she was going to blow us away!) [...]
I am so glad that Paul and I decided to work hard on paying off our debt now when our kids are young versus when they are older. A couple reason why it is easier to pay off debt when the kids are younger is because they could care less that you cut things out like going [...]
