Wanna know a secret about "The Secret"? I saw the show on Oprah about "The Secret" and then checked out the website and thought "what a sham". The concept presented in "The Secret" is not new and for those people to make money off of something that is available in its orgininal format for free is a rip off! The components of the Secret have been regurgitated so many times there really isn't a secret any more. Most recently Wayne Dyer wrote about this theory. Prior to him Catherine Ponder wrote a series of books on this. Napoleon Hill and Wallace Wattles also wrote on this topic in the early 1900s. Anyway, if you go to www.scienceofgettingrich.net you can get a free copy of Wallace Wattles book (the copyright has long since expired) as well as many other interesting articles which focus on gratitude, visualizing, etc.

For this whole month, I have been using cash only for all of my purchases. No debit card or credit card use for an entire month! The only checks I have used were to pay bills that needed to be mailed. This system has really saved me a lot of money, plus money was added to savings and credit debt was paid down. Even the hubby has got on board and he is now using the cash only system too. {{{doing the happy dance}}}
