perfect, susan! That's actually close to how I articulated RICH in my book. We are so sisters! Only 170 pages and four weeks left to go....

If Rich is a state of mind for people, I feel bad for them.. it will be a constant battle of always wanting more.. I think it's what leads to a lot of financial problems.. chasing the wealth. Being rich in your heart will always outweigh being rich in any monetary terms.

Re: money in general, "A rich life is not about the money." and "Save first, spend second."

"Money Philosophy": A little saved everyday goes a long way. for example: A combination of biking to work + packing your own lunch = $10.00 in savings each work day(roughly)
= $50.00 per week or $200.00 per month.

Thanks to Hulu for its weekly updates of Bank of Mom & Dad. It’s the only way my parents can watch, since they don’t get SOAPnet on their tube.

That last episode was insane. What is wrong with these parents? They're complete enablers! Are you getting picked up for another season?

I couldn't believe her parents were still supporting her... I also thought Farnoosh was a little tougher on her (and her parents) than in other episodes.

I love this show. It's funny to me that, I have raised 3 kids on much less monthly income at times than some of these girls who are in such massive debt. I'm curious as to whether any young men in debt will be on the show next season. (I hope there is a next season.)

Farnoosh Torabi Forget trying out for Real Housewives. This White House crashing couple needs some financial R&R from Bank of Mom & Dad.

www.cnn.com
The Virginia couple accused of crashing President Obama's first White House state dinner on Tuesday are named in at least 16 different civil suits in Fauquier County, sometimes as plaintiffs, sometimes as defendants.

I wish the reviewer had seen all the episodes, right?! Plus, Christina was bringing home close to $3,000 a month (even as a bartender)...so it's not an income problem she had. It was a spending problem.

Great job with the show! Just discovered it on Hulu and it's spot on... When I have children, I plan to teach them how to better manage their lives and finances - something that keeps popping up as a recurring theme.
