SAVE, SAVE, SAVE, and save some more. My grandparents generation did not waste anything. We waste way too much now.

1. You only get one life, live it w/o regrets and don't sweat the small stuff!

2. Material things will cease, make sure you are right with God, not man!

Don't over schedule your kids, let them be kids and have an imagination. Preschool or putting your kids in Mother's day Out at 6 months old is not a necessity for kids to succeed.

I agree with the last poster. Let your kids be kids. Let them play in the dirt and get messy.

I also agree with the first poster. My grandmother lived through the Great Depression, and she has always been very frugal. We are much too wasteful now. Everything is disposable.

There was an elegance in their time, an understanding of the world that cherished honor and a good name.

They have shown that it really is about the journey and all the people who've come in step with you along the way. Never do I as fully enjoy being in the moment as when I am in their presence.
