    Okiemommy's Journal **What I realized today about our journey**

    What did you do to save $ today?

    This has been happening A LOT lately...there was a news story about it a while back. Be careful. If your friend asks you for money online, make sure you know it really is them asking for it before you even contemplate sending it.
