Today, we're going to talk about some things that stores do to trick you into spending money.
Read MoreWe've had to make some large purchases (some of you, guys, know) -- a roof, an air conditioner, a refrigerator, and some new appliances. Of course we're always looking for the best deal and to use our money wisely. Today I wanted to share a few questions to ask before making a big purchase.
Read MoreFor the first time in 11 years of marriage, my husband and I actually met our deductible. Our very high, head spinning deductible. It's literally never happened before. Not even the years we had new babies.
Read MoreI think everyone finds themselves in a situation where they need to make a big purchase and they need to do it fairly quickly.
