My husband and I were both raised in 'cash and carry families'. If you don't have the cash, you don't carry it out of the store. This is such a refreshing, honest blog. I plan to visit everyday.

This post especially hit home for me. Growing up, I had probably two weeks worth of clothes (which is more than enough for anyone), but we lived in a neighborhood with lots of wealthy families. The kids in my high school drove luxury cars while I was taking the bus (I finally bought my first car, a 2004 toyota carolla, on my 24th birthday this year) and a lot of the girls would go shopping with their moms on the weekends and drop hundreds of dollars no problem. I clearly remember sitting in class one day my sophomore year, and I asked the girl next to me what she did over the weekend, and she said she went to the mall with her mom. When I asked 'Did you buy anything?' she looked at me like I was crazy and said 'Of course'. Looking back, I saw how my parents saved up money for what really mattered, like taking a family vacation every once and a while. I would much rather have fond memories than a closet full of stuff I never wear! I just found your blog and I love it! This post especially hit home for me.

I find this kind of stuff fascinating. Seems like an honest mistake on the sales rep's part, but it's a thing that shouldn't happen. I really the web site, preserve it up.
