So. my dad talked to my brother and explained that there is no way in hell danny will be buying a bike so long as he owes them both money.

LOLz

They are still being stupid with money, the girls each got another whole set of clothes, coats, shoes, more of every thing.

Stupids.

See, me and Hubs were crappy with money for soooo long, then we moved out of a rent free bill free always food int eh fridge that we didn’t have to supply place with a two year old and a five week old and we damn well learned to deal with money.

Kids always had food and bills always got paid.

Smokes? Going for coffee? Buying a new pair of shoes? None of that came anywhere near our list of things to buy until bills, rent and groceries were bought.

Now, we are good enough with money that we even have a credit card. The thing about our credit card, though, is we use it like a debit card. if we want to purchase something, we check our bank account online to see if we can afford it, and if so, we buy it with the credit card, then immediately transfer the money from our bank account to the visa bill.

We have prolly bought 500 or so things on our credit card, I love eBay, Etsy, Amazon books, I love stuff liek that, BUT, we do not spend more than we have.

It’s not that hard really. If we cannot afford it, we do without. It took having to be the sole providers for our two kids for us to learn that, when on earth will my brother and his girlfriend learn to be smart about money?
