What a great post. It does so much for me to read positive stories. I am a Stay at home mom with 4 kids, and I don't have a great deal of money either, but I figure, as you said, I don't smoke,drink, use prescriptions, or even go to the doc. on a reg. basis. So think of all the $ I could be wasting on those things, not to mention what people spend on candy and soda every week. I buy the best food and whole food/herb suplements because they are all my drugs of choice...and it will be that way till I die!
