Money's been on my mind a lot these past few months. We're looking for investors for my husband's business, & trying to figure out how to make next to nothing stretch as much as possible.
Because we didn't have a lot in savings when we started on this venture, we've considered a few different options, including secured loans, using the equity in our home. For a time we even had our home up for sale, but nothing really came of it. I can't begin to explain how stressful that was - trying to keep things looking "sell-able" with a houseful of young children!
Fortunately, we haven't had to worry too much about paying down credit card. We've kept our credit limit low on the card we have, which makes it easier to stay on top of things when money is tight.
One thing that has been on my mind though, is car insurance. Our oldest is 16 & learning to drive, which means our premiums will go up and I may get a few more gray hairs before it's all said and done. ;)

Got a complaint or a compliment? Use Planet Feedback.
One website that is truly unique is Planet Feedback. Here you can write a letter of complaint, suggestion, or compliment to the business of your choice and Planet Feedback will help make sure that your letter gets in front of a real person that will (hopefully) address your issues.
Part of Planet Feedback's mission statement reads:
* We will connect individuals to each other to increase their influence.
* We will raise the stakes for companies to respond to their customers.
* We will innovate relentlessly to use the Internet as it expands.
I used Planet Feedback a couple of years ago when Paypal placed a hold on my account. Each time I tried to contact them, I got an email that my account was under review. When I wrote a letter through planet feedback, I received a personalized response to my problem in less than 3 days!
Most of the letters written are available for public viewing, which means that you can read everything from Suzanne Somers cheating consumers to Applebees going above and beyond your average customer service.
