Yes, I cry too sometimes. Funny how time just seems to slow down both while I am away from my kids and during the evil part of winter (had to wait until morn to leave KY for home due to bad, bad roads and too much close calls on my way back to KY from Chicago).<br /><br />Van: It happens so fast doesn't it? We bought a new home in early 2008 and I culled so much stuff, yet I find myself burdened again with the chore before another move only three years later. And, I agree, there lies a real challenge using cash only!! :)Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788740577135090145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997330493821002085.post-35158596139403027102011-01-07T05:43:23.660-08:002011-01-07T05:43:23.660-08:00I look forward to reading your progress!
Like do...I look forward to reading your progress! <br /><br />Like dogsmom and Laura I've bought home too much free stuff (donated by friends/fam/strangers!) so I'm culling through the unnecessary and making sure it doesn't happen again!<br /><br />Also, like dogsmom, I'm going back to a cash-only system, when you have the money in your hand what you're spending is more tangible. Also, when you're not allowed to spend more than you have on hand it becomes a fun challenge.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445764937751339633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997330493821002085.post-60304703359041572722011-01-06T23:10:44.273-08:002011-01-06T23:10:44.273-08:00yes I agree with dogsmom my problem is a hoarder p...yes I agree with dogsmom my problem is a hoarder possibility so I HAVE to need it or sell it or give as a gift before I bring it home--I'm joining in too! So sorry you have to leave your family every week, makes me want to cry.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15013152465802223976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997330493821002085.post-81586560117080210422011-01-06T16:25:00.149-08:002011-01-06T16:25:00.149-08:00Thanks for the support, Dogsmom!

I, too, have a bad habit of over-thrifting and need boundaries.<br /><br />Good luck with your goal!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788740577135090145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997330493821002085.post-11823872408721967892011-01-06T07:30:41.832-08:002011-01-06T07:30:41.832-08:00I read both the other blogs as well.

My exception will be the electric and internet bills. I want the convenience of dropping them off in the middle of the night but still having a record of payment.<br />My trouble with finding free and inexpensive things is that I bring too much home, so another goal is to be more thoughtful of what I need to acquire.<br /><br />You can do this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997330493821002085.post-32167451049504996592011-01-05T19:26:12.963-08:002011-01-05T19:26:12.963-08:00Great!We can help support each other! :)Great!We can help support each other! :)Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788740577135090145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997330493821002085.post-16605432724570201552011-01-05T18:16:30.353-08:002011-01-05T18:16:30.353-08:00I saw your comment over at Thriftcore. :)
