Thank you for the tens of thousands emailed letters of support we have received on our website. Your continued suggestions and comments are appreciated and encouraged.

Each year as parents and grandparents, we work hard to make life better for our children. With the price of necessities such as food, clothing, gasoline, housing and medicines continuing to escalate, it has become even more important than ever to develop ways to budget and save our money. I have personally experienced the advantages of developing a personal and family budget. None of us have unlimited financial resources. It doesn’t matter whether our total personal or family income is $200,000 annually or $13,000, we need to know where our money is being spent. The prices of the essential goods and services we need to live are increasing everywhere we turn. If we don’t keep a handle on our spending, we will find ourselves in need of financial counseling.

We often times spend extra during special occasions and at holidays. Take a good look at your situation and find what amount of money makes sense to spend for each circumstance. Creating a budget for you and your family and trying to live by it will make life better for you and the ones you love.

With God’s Blessings,
Oliver L. Robinson, Jr.
