    Length of relationship before marriage?

    Growing up I always thought that people dated for 2+ years and then were engaged for several months, obviously this isn't always the case. My wife and I met in August of 2006 and we're engaged by January of 2007, then married in February that same year. Pretty quick by many people's standards...

    Shocked by the language my 5th grader hears at school!!!

    I hope things go well for you in this situation. Homeschooling is a good option for some but not for all. I was homeschooled (coincidentally from 5th grade through high school graduation) and while I absolutely enjoyed it, homeschooling also happened to fit my personality style: independent...

    Is fixing the debt problem really that complicated?

    @Morkandmindy: Something the chart does not account for is the branch of government that actually deals with balancing the budget and passing spending bills, etc... And I'm pretty sure that during the Clinton era (for instance) that Republicans were in pretty nice control in the legislative...

    Bankruptcy may help you to address the following issues

    I have never heard of taxes being bankruptable and would strongly pose that they are not bankruptable at all. What instances have you seen this come up?
