Living Within Our Means. Penny and Buck maxed out their credit cards. What will they do now? Food Costs: Planning to Save. An Extremely Cheap Christmas. This year, Christmas will be gift-free.

How to fill the time unemployed | Childfreelife's Weblog
https://childfreelife.wordpress.com/2009/04/29/how-to-fill-the-time-unemployed
April 29, 2009} How to fill the time unemployed. Well, this is a common theme for me these days, and the main reason I don’t post very often. I am still unemployed.
