The Money Crunch for empty nesters



In spite of everything that is going on in this crazy world...money is tighter than ever. We were pleased to get a call from Christie that we owed only $142 for her tuition this semester after her academic scholarship, and the Vandy benefit was posted.... YEAH!!!!!

I guess one small benefit of being an empty nester is a decline in utilities. Both our water and electric bills have decreased... YEAH !!

Another benefit of an empty nester - is low low grocery bills.. YEAH !!!!!

And..we are blessed to have good health insurance. With all the sickness lately (especially with Jillian) our insurance has paid for it all...with the small exception of copays..... YEAH !!!!

We are also blessed to not have credit card debt or an adjustable rate mortgage..... Girls - live on a budget and stay within your means.....and when things like this in the world are happening....it will not be a burden on your shoulders...like it's not with me and your dad!
