Very belated congratulations. I’ve just read your last four months of posting. I have to get caught up.

My daughter is now at the University of Iowa. We are going for a visit this week. I wish there was a Writer’s Workshop museum. We are going to two music school concerts.

Continue with your interesting reports. I enjoy reading them and get interesting ideas.

I have largely frugal habits but, until recently, very poor planning skills. It’s all very well to save money by taking the Greyhound when you travel and making most of your own food (and shopping around for bargains on ingredients), but if you haven’t also saved money to pay for fixing your car, it’s not terribly helpful. That’s the part I’ve tried very hard to remedy.

Thanks again to all.

Way to go! I’m in my own war on debt and it is always an encouragement to hear about a battle won. Listening to Dave Ramsey has been a great encourager the past several months. Fridays are especially fun because people that have recently gone debt free (excepting the house or including the house) can call up, tell their story, and scream

IIIIIIIII’MMMMMMMMM DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBT FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

I hope to do that before I’m 30.
