Test Your Family Finance IQ

Found this 11 question test over at Parents.com and it was a real eye opener on the actual money cost of having and raising children.

I thought I had a good idea of how much my wife and I spend on our daughter.

I mean I listen to Dave Ramsey and I pay the bills in our house and I only got 4 out of 11 questions right (don't tell my wife).

This is just a fun little quiz, try it out- Family Finance IQ Test and see if you can beat my score.

Just remember children are priceless when you see how much a college degree is going to cost in 18 years.... OUCH!

I found this post by Danni Kay who blogs at  missaleck.com . As of Saturday, she was without power for 6 days and she writes about her gratitude to all those that have helped out the storm victims. There is a short video at the end that she recorded on day 3 without power.  She seems tired, but her faith is strong. At the end of her post she writes, "God is still able."...... Check it out. If your kids have questions on how to help, here is an ABC news  story with links to organizations that are working in the area. Luke 10:33 "But a certain Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,
