A very sad story indeed. I would rather have a life with friends than a house, just to say I own rather than rent. They missed out big time.

I was raised with the saying if you can’t afford it, you can’t have it. I have done well and not gone into debt in very tough economic times. I applaud you for calling attention to this article. We are in a culture that tells us we should have everything but we really need to make choices. Many people do not realize how much money they are actually spending on those little extras. We could all probably save quite a bit. There are so many things we buy in a year that we don’t really need. How many clothing items just because we want something new, coffees and dinners out. The best thing I have done is to get direct deposit. If you don’t carry cash around, you are less apt to spend it.

Lynnae: Definitely agree with you. It’s amazing how these types of stories motivate us since our efforts of being frugal doesn’t compare to these people at all…

Thanks for pointing out such an inspirational story. It just goes to show that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
