Are you saving money with every check? If you are not, here is my challenge. Open up an online savings account for every member of your family. (I like ING because there are several ways to make money just by opening accounts.)  Link it to an existing bank account. This will take a couple days because you will have to verify your accounts and confirm deposits.  Create an automatic schedule of transfers to your account. Can't afford it you say?

Nothing is promised and nothing is perfect. If you can frame your mind around the positives of your situation and work to find solutions-...
