Why can’t you just use your credit card?



Cash can be seen and touched and kids get that, usually at an early age,

I'm a tp snob. I only buy Charmin. We do, on occassion, stumble upon a great sale...but on a day to day basis, it's less expesive at Coscto than anywhere else, around here.

"That score allowed us to furnish ous entire apt. at the age of 21 instead of having to save money for years and having a used mish mash of things. That score as allowed us to replace appliances in our home and do so at no interest. That score has allowed us to be able to buy new and almost new cars at the lowest or almost lowest interest rates."

I have never had someone run my credit score in order for me to buy furniture or appliances. I don't understand why you would need to a FICO score to furnish your apartment?

"The last car my parents bought was a dealer's car. It had fewer than 1,000 miles on it. But, since it was "used," they got an awesome deal."

We always look for the cars that had never been sold by the dealer, but was used by him. Typically, the prior year's model, with 1,500-5,000 miles on it. Technically, still a new car and eligible for all of the new car promotions the dealer is offering, but can be negotiated down a good 30% off of the price of the newer model.

To each his own. I don't think formula is a "waste" of money. It was food for my children.

I still use wipes, for even myself. I have a packet in my pocketbook all the time. Shrug.

Yep. I could never understand when people said how expensive it was to buy diapers. I didn't think what I spent was that much at all.

And Costco always has coupons for Charmin. I think it is like $2.75 or $3.
