Dear Debt Dragon:my primary vehicle is a truck. said truck has over 215K miles. the paint on the hood is peeling. to exit, i must put down the driver's side window and open the door from the outside. often, the window is already down because the air conditioning is inoperable. it is currently 175 degrees fahrenheit where i live. while ac would be nice, i have no desire for a new vehicle.we recently gave up cable. killin' my brain cells anyway.we ditched the rental water softener. don't think … [Read more...]

Including the splurge, breakfast still hovers around $.25 per serving total. Lunch is leftovers and dinner is usually an economically well-crafted QoF … [Read more...]

True … [Read more...]
