Wisdom From the Past

I have begun asking older Home Makers what has saved them money over the years. With out fail the answer has been, "cooking from scratch." My grandfather said his best investment has been realestate, but the last place he worked on he owned it for 7 years. There certainly isn't any quick turn over.

When I observe the generations ahead of us I see those who have been consistent in a few things are doing better than those who bounce around a lot.

My mother always told me "Watch your pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves" :)
