February 26, 2014 by Stephanie 4 Comments

Are you in Debt Denial?

February 19, 2014 by Stephanie Leave a Comment

Most people don’t talk about debt openly, but it’s no secret that it’s a serious and widespread problem.   You can’t tell by looking at a person whether or not he has massive credit card debit.   Even those you know well may have suffocating student loan payments.  Most people keep personal finances personal. Between the private […]

Creamy Tacos Casserole– Frugal Dinner Recipe

February 17, 2014 by Stephanie 37 Comments

Creamy Tacos Casserole is a family tradition at least three generations old.  Originally called simply “Cream Tacos,” I revised the name to give a better description of this yummy comfort food that we’ve adapted over the years. Creamy Tacos Casserole is a great dish to bring over to a friend who just had a baby […]

It depends on the person.  And the family. Let’s Look […]

February 10, 2014 by Mike 12 Comments

The Fine Line of Patience in Paying Off Debt

February 5, 2014 by Stephanie 25 Comments

Patience is a virtue we can all improve on, but having too much patience can be bad for those of us who are in debt.  At the same time, having too little patience will make you crazy with anxiety and stress.  When it comes to debt, do you have too much patience or not enough? […]
