With the upcoming move, I've really been praying that we can buy a house with cash. I'm not really sure if we'll be able to do it yet. We might have to get a small loan that can be paid off in 2-3 years so we can afford a house that is remotely livable. We'll see. Through Christ all things are possible ;-).

So, we tried, and we won't be going back there any time soon!

My aunt/uncle use to own a RAINBOW company such as you mentioned. They did really well selling those. One summer I tried selling them with no success. I guess I always gave in too easily when the customer said they didn't have the money. I never tried to convince them they could afford it! I've been out of credit card debt for about 4 months now and it feels great. I have student loans to tackle and as Dave Ramsey says, "it's almost like a pet". He is coming to speak at my church in a few weeks and am excited about this! LOL. My aunt/uncle use to own a RAINBOW company such as you mentioned. They did really well selling those.

Then there are keep talking about how much money it costs to make money. We had a long Kirby demo once-- which lasted really long since they kept lowering the price. We have a rainbow, and sold them for a brief time. I'm guessing I'm going to have to write about that adventure soon...

Great post, MIn. Deborah and I were just talking about how it seems like we're on the way to being a cashless society. Scary. For us, it was a Kirby vacuum demo that had me salivating...I needed a vacuum so badly, and the salesman finally got it through his thick head that I wasn't buying that night, so he suggested a refurbished Kirby. I ended up waiting about 5 months, called him back (he was no longer selling Kirby vacuums, lol) so I went on the net and got a great refurbished one for a fraction of the price (good ole ebay) and it came with a warranty! It's been an awesome vacuum for 6 years now... My parents had a Rainbow vacuum, one of their church members sold them. It worked great, though I remember disliking the chore of emptying the dirty water tank! I liked that quote too, Mrs. Meg. Great post, MIn.
