Quote From: margiemms All that's left to do is price Carlena's belongings, which are conveniently in the yard, and put up the yard sale signs! The money made can be used to pay bills, hire a budget consultant, and of course, pay mom rent. Get real, Carlena. Most people deserve things they don't have, because we can't afford it. I've been teaching in the city for 24 years. If I had all the "things" I deserve, my net worth would incredible!! I wouldn't trade "all my children" for a dream car or house, because they are way more valulable. Get over yourseld, or marry rich, without a prenup.
Hey, I'll come by for that yard sale! What's Carlena thinking? My husband and I both work(he's ft. and I'm pt. while the kids are in school 3 days a week) I buy almost all our stuff at yard sales, consignment shops, thrift stores etc. I live in a nice home with nice stuff ( nearly all of it gently used or bought at a steep discount) My family doesn't go without,and my kids have plenty of brand name stuff BUT we've never emphasized the importance of labels.
We do emphasize, that alot of people out there don't have nice shoes,clothes,winter coats,or even a home,so... be grateful for what you have and share your blessings with others.
I am a penny pincher(I'll pinch pennies 'till they cry) but I'd never make my family go with out their NEEDS just some of their wants. They know my motto, NEVER PAY FULL PRICE!!! 'cause somebody else probably has and doesn't want it anymore.
As for the lady who lost the weight, she should tell her husband thrift stores are great and I want some clothes that fit. Hey, maybe Carlena's mom can sell her some of Carlena's
