TIGSCHEF1 - your comments are not in keeping with this team. Bee_Teachable has been very upfront and honest with her issues with spending and through the openess she shares, she has been learning a different way to be with money. This team is here for members to learn, be honest and at times we are direct in a respectful manner with one another. Because of the issues dealt with in this team, I ask that at all times we remain respectful of one another. My wish as Team Leader is to always keep this team a place of emotional safety.

OMG bee_teachable??????? How completely irresponsible and 'unteachable' can you be. Who do you think you are....the government? Spending money you don't have on crap you don't need & then expecting someone to bail you out. No wonder this country is going to hell in a hand basket. I haven't visited this site recently & after reading the posts in the current digest I now know why.

I'm the same - balanced. I'm happy with that. I just need more income to work on paying debt down faster and I'd be happy.

2. No

Usually I don't stress on money because I have a handle on the issue and deal with the situation. At the same time I know that I'm walking a tight rope and if there is one push, I'll be over. Even then I'll deal with it. I have enough stress without this one too.

Do you stress about money?

1. Yes

2. No

I voted Yes! Not all the time, but sometimes. Especially when I see something I'd really like to have but know I don't have the money to buy it.

Thanksgiving for me has come and gone. It was a simple affair, just an ordinary family dinner. Nothing special.

Will you be preparing a low-cal recipe this Thanksgiving?

1. Yes, for the first time.

2. Yes, as usual.

3. No, I use my traditional recipes.

4. No, I don't cook for Thanksgiving.

5. Not applicable.

I voted for #3 as I use traditional recipes but try to limit the portions. What about you?
