Financial learning starts early: *The road to fiscal grooming begins by setting the household standard. If certain chores must be completed by the child, or certain grades are expected on report cards, then be specific. Communicate those expectations. The choice to pay an allowance for these household requirements is every family’s personal decision. But it is important for parents to contemplate ‘bonus’ payments.

Update on Cell phone tips!
Go to SNOPES at http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/household/cellphones.asp Not all of the techniques from my previous post work. Sorry, friends. I should have checked this closer before I posted. Thanks, Juliet for finding this link for me. However, the FREE 411 will work. Also, I know that there is an additional Free 411 service, check the comments section in the earlier post. The PIN access will work on Samsung, AT & T, and Motorla phones. Whether the phone company will shut down your phone or not depends on your service provider. So check with them.

What I can tell you is this technique works. Just this fast. Enjoy! And just imagine what you can do with all that time you save. Oh, and disclaimer time — I do […]
Made me laugh
A recent article brought this blog to mind: ‘If women ruled the world. . .’ All right, all right, I’m not insinuating that women can’t drive. Far from it. I tool around in a full-sized van, 6600 pounds, thank you very much and I can park the puppy in a rat hole. Do remember, I’m from Texas and things are bigger here than in other parts of the world — rat holes included. But gals are normally handling a number of things while trying to park and I think it’s only fair we should get a bigger parking spot. There would be a little ‘bill’ equality . . . Tools would be simpler. Now, you’re […]
