Interesting Car-Buying Side Note: Our Credit Score
Ever since taking on the task of becoming a little more financially savvy — starting this blog was part of that effort as well as doing a whole lot of reading and research — I’ve been curious about our credit score. Sure, I’ve done the three free annual credit reports and they always come out [...]
Is It Possible I’m Doing Something Right?
The Son is 14. Despite the fact that he’s a bit quirky and probably has Asperger’s, he’s a pretty typical 14-year-old boy.
