I have a sneaking suspicion you are the kind of people who keep coming up with excuses for not ever investing in anything just drag others down who are trying to get ahead in life.  If you both claim to know so much about…[Read more]

Why dont you make it a little less 'tight'? Hell I could just skip lunch and save $14 and avoid all the hassle!!

Wow thats a whole $14 saving!!! Sure you aint CRAZY????? LOL How generouse of you….
