Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 9 (4/7)

Dear library
Dear Library, I will not be voting for any tax levy. I suggest that you come up with a better way to balance your budget. Times are tight for me too but unfortunately, when I asked my employer for more money, they said “No” (though at least I didn’t get laid off!) But taxes just…

One free luxury
So the folks over at Budgets are Sexy (an interesting budget / personal finance blog) had a post today asking which luxury you would choose, if you could choose one and only one. The choices were: * 24/7 Personal Chauffeur – Your own driver (and car) to take you anywhere, anytime, no questions asked. Great…
