Kathy,

I don't want to go against your parents and brothers by giving you ideas
here, because I do know that they try their very best for you and I
respect them.  But however, what happened to the old saying "you live
and learn".  If we were to do a survey of 100 people, I'm sure we would
have at least 90 people who would say they have made foolish purchases
at sometime, but they still have their checkbooks and credit cards.  I
myself just recently got my 3rd tattoo on my arm, my mother wasn't very
pleased but I still have my checkbook and credit cards.

Thanks,
Anthony

Hi C-Palsy ListMates:
[Anthony Arnold]


Yesterday, I went to my psychologist and I had my parents go in with me.
Wediscussed my money situation in great detail.  I have made some
'foolish' purchases and moves in my past.  Well, beforehand , my Mom
told me that before I purchase anything, I need to ask them.



If any of you, get or work with S.S.I         you know how limited how
person on S.S.I.      is.  That's why I don't get or make much at my
job.  :(((



They (my parents) have it all set up when they pass on.  It will be up
to my brothers & me where I go.



Should I still make a budget?



More On This At A Later Date,



Kathy Jo
