Comment of nl91hKus9ClH:
Missed four big tips. 1) Live within your means. 2) Save the money first and buy with cash if you can. Interest is the bisgegt killer of budgets. 3) Buy quality if you can. Buying two cheap items when you could have bought one good quality item that lasts three times as long saves money. My wife and I still have Pendleton shirts that we bought over 30 years ago. 4) Maintenance makes everything last longer. In 45 years, we have had every vehicle run at least 200,000 miles without major repairs just by keeping it maintained. http://iwlrskqf.com [url=http://lnmymfcfsfa.com]lnmymfcfsfa[/url] [link=http://zxnnzummu.com]zxnnzummu[/link]

Comment of 9pmbyWCT5:
Mary, You make excellent otaortvsbiens on all sides of this tragedy.I, too, hate to see the media, overly obsessed with Hollywood Glitterati jump the gun in their analysis.But, as an Autism activist with a nephew afflicted with this disease, I am appalled to see Scietology dismiss and deny both Autism and virtually all treatment for any disorder they believe affects or comes from the mind. I'm sure you remember Tom Cruise rant against women with post partum depression.We will see what the twin autopsies (one public and one funded by the family) find, but if the teen died from lack of proper medical treatment, then the tragedy really is criminal.
