I've had to review my old credit records (starting in 2000) and they show someone who drank a lot of Starbucks', visited Target frequently and travelled. Hmmm. The image of the 'My First Checkbook' reminds me of when I got my first account at age 15. My mother was trying to teach me to be responsible, but my primary memory is of bouncing a lot of checks and paying $30 each time because I didn't read and understand a letter from the bank.

Two of my kids spend every dime that hits there pockets. My middle one is a saver. Already the other say to her, that well shewill always have money! My oldest is actually getting better and starting to ask herself those good "do I need it questions" It is funny with kids. Two of my kids spend every dime that hits there pockets.

Oh look, there's the week we kept running back to the grocery store because I made a defective shopping list. Oh that's right, we had to buy new tires--good thing we comparison shopped. My story's not that exciting, but it's kind of frugal. When I look at our transactions on line, I definitely see the story of how our month went.
