“I like to travel, light—even my wallet isn’t heavy!”

Go forth and see the world! You won't know what you've been missing--stock in smog-city central--till you feel the fine sand under your kitten-heel slippers, see the Mon Lisa up close, or discover the delicate flavor of freshly grilled sawa.

Somehow my husband managed to talk me into taking this class called "7 Steps to Financial Freedom". It is a finance course targeted toward Catholic couples. The guy who wrote the course is apparently a well known Catholic guy named Phil Lenahan. I do not consider us a "Catholic couple" since I am not Catholic; my husband is. I don't know how he decided he wanted to do this thing. At first when he told me about it, it was so he could be trained to teach the course to other couples, then it changed to "we have to take the course as a couple." Since I have asked my husband to do some things with me at my church, I thought it would be my obligation to do this class with him.

In the past months we have seen the price of gasoline soar higher than ever before, and this can be hard on people who have a budget that is tight. Even though gas prices have come down a slight bit, you still will want to do everything you possibly can to save on the money you have to pay out for gas. There are a variety of ways that you can save gas, and save money.

Do you home school your children?

In 1997, a study of 5,402 home schooled students from 1,657 families was released. It was entitled, "Strengths of Their Own: Home Schoolers Across America." The study demonstrated that homeschoolers, on the average, out-performed their counterparts in the public schools by 30 to 37 percentile points in all subjects.

Another important finding of Strengths of Their Own was that the race of the student does not make any difference. There was no significant difference between minority and white homeschooled students. For example, in grades K-12, both white and minority students scored, on the average, in the 87th percentile. In math, whites scored in the 82nd percentile while minorities scored in the 77th percentile.

Ok, maybe I'm more "ADVANCED" in certain areas.

But, why, why, why (other than maybe the satisfaction of their voice on tv) do people call Suze to ask if they can afford things? I don't care what it is... if you're calling that means (in my opinion) that you are unsure which ultimately means either you know you can't and/or you just need reassurance.

If that's the case, call me and I'll tell you NO! You can't.

The best time to start investing is early. Even if you just turned 18, start putting your money to work for you today! Lets say you work as a waitress 6 nights a week. You make $50 in tips a night, that’s $300 a week, and $1200 a month. You could most likely afford to invest $50 a month. If you don’t think you can then it’s time to take a look at your budget.

A web release today had me thinking of my own wedding. My parents both had well-paying jobs, but they also made it clear that they planned to retire sometime within the next 7000 years, so I would have to cut down on expenses. Instead of a wedding dress off the rack that cost several thousand dollars, my dress was hand-made. I found a seamstress that would sew it for about $110, and I got to pick the fabrics. In other words, I designed my own wedding dress by deviating from the pattern in certain areas. This led to one of the strongest memories I have about my wedding, which occurred on the day of my wedding. I had been sewing sequins and beads on the sleeves, but hadn't finished. My dad sat on my couch, all day long, right up until it was time to get dressed, and sewed sequins on. I remember the way the light was shining through the window, an afternoon yellow glow that I haven't seen since I moved out of that state. My dad who learned to sew in the Air Force, sat and sewed the sequins on for his little girl, while everyone else, including bridesmaids, guests, ushers, and a cat intent on destroying the gown with every flutter, were crowding around a one bedroom apartment.

I will present to you some tried and true research that myself and my friends have done over the past few years. We are going to look at "How not to make it on a college budget" or "What not to do when you are a broke college student".

First, I'd like to say for everyone who thought that once they get the degree it will be cha ching, how wrong you are unless you specialize in medicine, law, engineering, etc. Also, a degree in Religion is not going to open the doors and having employers begging you to work for them. I can't even get a job for a church.
