What to do with them?

When I was your age, YES 14, and actually younger, I used to babysit or make bracelets, ornaments with cheap beads, have yard sales with my junk and sell them. I'd bake cookies and sell them. I had one dog and it was given to us free.

When my dad was out of a job, with 4 KIDS and a wife to feed, me the oldest, I gave him my stereo, my headphones, my tapes, stuff to sell so we could EAT. I am very proud of what I did to contribute to my family when it was in trouble, not nag on how I wanted this or that.

awww that's so sweet. You give your dad your stuff to sell just so your family can have food on your table. You are very caring This is one of the sweetest stories I 've heard in a while.

It was difficult to write in a public forum but I thought it may help Bri.
It was many years ago.
Just thinking about those times makes me sad.
Fortunately it was only a few years and then things got much better.

It made me sad just reading about it
I am very happy to hear that everything turned out well for you and your family.

I'm so sorry, Carmen.

I remember a few years back when we were really in a hole. The bare necessities were all we could afford and even took spills on that.

It was hard when peers mentioned how they got this brand new toy/game/bike etc for Christmas/Birthdays and I got socks and underwear. I wanted more pets, new cameras, etc. but couldn't have them. It was hard but I learned to deal with it and I think it made me a lot more aware financially today.

It's so wonderful to finally be able to bring in an income for my family for rent, food, etc. And to be able to finally get what I want (well... not everything!) is undescribable.

Edit: I'm sure she would like coupons, but I don't know how much it would affect her. It took me about 2 weeks to convince her over Raw.

I already registered for the coupons earlier.. I don't remember registering and I don't remember them ever showing up though.
