That will make several more free meals for me, along with the veggies out of my garden! What surprised me was that out of 9 adults, I was the only one interested in stretching that carcass farther.... it would have been in the garbage. It was a lesson I learned early in life - My grandfather would always claim the turkey carcass after a family dinner and take it home for he and my grandmother to make soups with! That was back in the early 60's - Thanks, Grandpa, for that early lesson in Frugality!

I'm liking Money Smart Life and your tip above about "planning ahead." Success with money is about planning and thinking about the future (as opposed to living in the present with no money strategy). One other money lesson I like to add to my quick tips is "not think like everyone else", here is some more detail from a recent post I wrote: http://www.scordo.com/blog/2008/11/practical-life-tip-do-what-eve.html Vince Hi Ben,
