Money Doesn’t Always Matter

April 23, 2013

If anyone were in a position to say that money matters, it’d be me. My husband and I are in our early 20s. We have three young children, all of whom have special needs. Some days we’ll have to spend $500 on appointments alone, other days it’ll just be the rushing around of other appointments.… Read More Money Doesn’t Always Matter

October 8, 2011
