Amy, we’re on the same page. In fact, we’re educating ourselves on special needs trusts right now, but realizing that if this health care bill passes, trusts may be unnecessary…..let’s hope not.

Karen, lots of people are getting quite an education from this economy, aren’t they? Hope you like the article.

Carol, congratulations!

Thanks, Barbara. I’m forwarding this to my son. He is getting married in 11 days and can use all the advice he can get, financially speaking.
Blessings,
Carol

Hi Barb,
Thanks for sharing this link; I’m looking forward to reading it. Seems many of us, with frugal tendencies or not, are rethinking how we spend and save. Makes you think about, too, what really is important in this life.
Blessings to you and your readers,
Karen

I love seeing this type of ministry! I have always been the frugal type. It is in my nature! I didn’t use credit cards until I had little ones and didn’t want to drag them in the pay for my gas in bad weather. Debt has always been scary to me but I realize most people are not like me and need to be educated. It is way too easy to accumulate extensive debt.

That said, I married a man with massive school loans. One of the first things we did was set up a plan to repay the loans, become debt free and save for college (& special needs trust)for the children.

I can’t tell you it was easy but I can tell you it was quite worthwhile. I hope we have taught our children well and they won’t know the pain that comes with crushing debt but the freedom that comes with being debt free!
