Agreeing with DIGII here, cold press juicers are the way to go not all these centrifugal ones. You can get an Omega masticating juicer for $200-300, and the extra money is so worth it! The juice it makes is way less separated and thin and foamy, and you get so much more juice OUT of the juicer. This is the one I got and I love it: http://www.coldpressjuicers.net/products/omega-j8004-series
I think it depends how much debt you have and how big of a "ding" it would be. If it cost 50-100 points of my credit to get rid of my entire mortgage, I'd probably do it. But that's incredibly unrealistic!
I think I would. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to take to get out of debt. It would also depend on how much of a hit my credit would take and how much debt I was actually in. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
Yes - in the long run you are saving money and can take the time to repair your credit. Being debt free is more important in order to take away a large stress. Credit can be repaired in a shorter time than debt can usually be paid off - and debt usually brings down your credit ability.
Good Morning Jeff, I too am a graduate of SIU-C and currently an IL guardsman, I hear many people talk about saving money for their childs college. We have 2 boys(5 and 2) and 1 child on the way. when is the best time to start?
Wow, surprising coincidence that I see this while procrastinating because a friend actually told me about this book recently and said it was a good read.
This is an awesome information. By simply follow 2 to 3 of the tips here I can save 100 - 200$ per week. Amazing home guide for moms and dads who want to save some more for their future plans.
These are some good tips, especially the one about making a donation in the name of your boss - you need not donate much (because it's more about the thought than the amount) and you can't be considered a 'suck-up' because you're not actually giving your boss anything.
I also like the idea of bring them a plate of homemade cookies - it's a semi-personal gift and others in the office benefit from your deed too.
Never tried these foods for being a "filler". I guess there's no harm with eating these because it's said that these are healthy. I might go try these out. Thanks for the heads up, Julie!
Talk about the 'simplest things in life,' while the outside world keeps getting more and more complicated we need to be reminded about getting back to basics.
Never thought about the empty fridge before. Looks like I need to make less trips to the store and stock up more when I do go. Plus you would save some on gas making less trips!
I surely would ding my credit to be free of debt. Being debt-free gives you a tremendous advantage to leverage your current income and increase your net worth. You can always slowly and wisely rebuild a dinged credit rating. To bypass the opportunity to shed yourself of usurious debt is to condemn yourself to a lifetime of owing others, thus depriving yourself of the added income you deserve. There also are other ways to get rid of debt; one way is to transfer credit card debt into a bank personal loan at a much lower interest rate, then pay it off as fast as you can.
I don't worry about our score too much. You only need a good score if you plan to stay in debt! Hopefully you try everything else before you consider debt settlement.
I always read the opposite - your fridge shouldn't be too full but you should stuff your freezer.
I would not ding my credit to get out of debt
if it would make a pretty immediate impact on monthly savings, then yes.

Sounds interesting!
I teach personal finance to college students, including student vets. Would love a copy of this book to share with students!
Jenny,
Try the sites for Ball, Kerr and other canning jars or home stores, which I believe sell two or three sizes of canning lids and rings to fit jars.

This is so helpful! I would love to win a copy of Rose's book!

Sounds like a worthwhile book. Thanks for the giveaway.
It's that little thing called perseverance, something that needs to be taught and practised early.
Wow, surprising coincidence that I see this while procrastinating because a friend actually told me about this book recently and said it was a good read.
Yes! I would absolutely ding my credit to get out of debt.

I thought Cashflow: The Game by the Rich Dad Poor Dad company was pretty good in terms of learning about money.

I don't want my employees to give me a gift. They work hard for their money. They shouldn't spend it on me.
