I recently received an e-mail from my friend who runs a charity through her church that it was time for an annual $1000 donation to a charity that we have been working with for many years.
Through this group we have “adopted” young children in developing countries and paid for their annual tuition to the schools in their village. Every year we get pictures and letters from the kids updating and thanking us for sponsoring their education.

I received my large tax return today and am proud to say that we paid off ONE of the credit cards today. It was the card with the smallest balance, the balance was roughly $4,100. I sent the payment today and the feeling of accomplishment is awesome.
In addition to the credit card pay off, I have officially paid off my car with just 70k miles, which means I can drive this car for a long time with NO payment.
This web site has been therapeutic for our family as we face down the debt demons and being to build for the future.

Today I really need to ask you for help. As you know I am currently out of work and trying to start a small business while my wife works part-time. The problem we have now is we are uninsured for the first time ever, we have no health insurance.
I started looking around for insurance on Ehealthinsurance.com and found a couple of plans we could afford and offered pretty good coverage. The plans we choose were right around $450 a month, which we can do, but we were denied coverage and aren’t sure why.
