when the unexpected happens

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Being someone who isn’t too keen in numbers, I usually leave it to DH to compare car insurance and make certain financial decisions for the household.

do you shop with credit cards?

let’s chat on credit

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

Sometimes it puzzles on how people make decisions on spending habits.

No wonder [...]
