What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine. <img src="/images/smilies/new/angry3.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angry3:" title="Angry3    :angry3:" data-shortname=":angry3:" /> When I was a senior in high school my mom told me I had to buy all my brothers and sisters school clothes and supplies for that year (there were 6 of them) in exchange for my room and board. I worked two part-time jobs (one of them was very close to being full time) and went to school all day.I'll say one thing for her ... she has certainly earned herself a very, very special place in the afterlife ...It took me years and years (literally) to unlearn all the bad habits I learned by watching that woman work. I was telling Dru last night that if I had known in my 20s what I know about money now my life would have been much easier and a lot more comfortable.While I don't agree with everything Dave Ramsey says I think that 95 percent of it is spot on.</blockquote>
