08 MoneyControl Pro 4.0
Many families have reason to complain. Everything is getting more
expensive: groceries, clothes for the children, cosmetics, memberships
for sports clubs, as well as the cost of water, gas and electricity.
Anyone that notices towards the end of the month that the family account
is constantly operating in the red, should try to compile a financial
analysis to determine exactly where the money is actually going each
month. Once that has been accomplished, a budget may be established,
unnecessary expenses can be eliminated and a reserve may be build up.

11 Quotes: Mills, Ball, McKuen
The gifts that one receives for giving are so immeasurable
that it is almost an injustice to accept them.
--Rod McKuen
A hug is the perfect gift -- one size fits all,
and nobody minds if you exchange it.
--Ivern Ball
There are two kinds of people in the world: the Givers and the Takers.
The difference between the two is that the Takers eat well,
and the Givers sleep well.
--Joy Mills
