Kids do eventually fall asleep and when they do, they are sleeping on a hardwood floor and uncomfortable.

But for a lot of families, they were *rooted* in their community before gas prices sky rocketed.

Cable is the only thing I see as not "needed".

So when I put away money per week in my savings account and I make interest off of it and when the time comes to pay the bill, I have all that extra interest, I did not save money??

And I think rarely are people choosing between a good paying job and working at McDonald's.


Well you have a very limited experience then.

That is NOT the ony reason. Buying the furniture will be a good investment because it can be used for my son's children later on in life just like mine was for my dd.

No, I am still here for another hour!! A vacation that I did not have to pay for so you don't have to find something wrong with that too.

I never denied that there are some people in this situation, but I think it is rare that the only possible job in the area that doesn't require commuting is working at McDonald's.
