It took weeks of checking, but six months and only $800.00 later I had a couch, a chair and half, an ottoman and a Pottery Barn coffee table. My living room is FINALLY furnished the way I like it instead of being filled with cast-offs from family. I feel all grown up :D If you want a REALLY good deal on a perfect chair, try Craigslist.

He is still taking money off my brother so he dosnt fritter it away and he is 26.

(http://takingcontrolofmoney.blogspot.com/2008/04/stuff.html) Seeing all the things that we spend $20-$40 on at "big box" stores sitting in a row marked $5 or less, we realized that we have a problem. It's completely changed the way we spend money. This week we went out to lunch and the waitress tried to charge me for a drink even though I brought my own! Check those receipts!
