Attention, personal finance readers and gurus! My Grandmother was born in 1898. In winter, she and Grandpa cut ice from the pond and put it in the ice house to try to save it for summer.

I drop a bundle each year (both money and time) on my week long Grandma Rie’s Money Camp where I try to help the kids learn about and experience personal finance concepts. Do the math and you’re talking about $16,200 to $21,600 over a grandchild’s first 18 years. Among well-to-do grandparents and the 2.7 It’s my grandkid!”.

I work in Finance/Accounting for a large corporation but I have also started a company called Every Single Dollar , which focuses on personal finance for single women. The inspiration to pay off my debt was watching my grandmother balance her checkbook. How much debt did you pay off? What inspired you to get debt free?
