paramount, I am motivated very much by money… not bc I like to buy ipods or cars or jewelry or anything like that but bc I see it as giving us the piece of mind to be able to sleep at night knowing we can survive a tragedy and also bc I know how hard it is to make $1 given the long hours I work at night while my kids are asleep to bring in money (I work in marketing for a tech company – helping to close sales which gets harder and harder every day).

I felt like an idiot last week posting flyers all over the ASU condo in 110 heat after we took the 7 hr drive out here, so I don’t know how much harder we can try and it seems ridiculous to lower the rent to a point where we are just postponing the inevitable… yes $1000 is mortgage, hoa, utilities, insurance, taxes

I don’t know what MonaVie is…?? And I don’t judge other people by their FICO scores, I judge them by what they give to others in terms of their time, friendship and care. And how they make you laugh too – of course – to forget the type of dilemma that hubby and I face now. thanks 🙂
