Pre-coronavirus, we didn’t think twice about shaking a stranger’s hand, using the ATM keypad, or going to the grocery store without donning a hazmat suit. We paid off our last non-mortgage debt in September and have since sent that loan’s monthly payment to our mortgage principal. I have been using it ever since.

Was it the times you were flush with money or the times you were dirt poor and had to make do? Surviving a negative experience and enduring through or perhaps even overcoming it shows us that we are made of more than we ever dreamed, that we can do and be more than we thought.

Highly rated, easy to use, and it sits gathering dust. Child did not like it, so we don’t use it. No more coupons either – I used them a lot when my older kids were young, but they certainly aren’t as prevalent. We have a big family, but we live in a small house – we use bunk beds and make do.
