Money can't buy happiness

But it sure can put a smile on your face. Don't get me wrong, I am not a materialistic person. It's just that we had screwed up our credit & chex-systems reports so bad, that we couldn't even get a bank account for a few years. And now in the last few months, we got a checking with a normal, nationwide bank. We were able to get regular, not pre-paid, cell phones. And even have some savings built up. I guess you could say we are still living pay check to pay check...but I definitely feel much more comfortable at this point. Knowing not every other phone call is a collector.
