pre-paid phones save money

We're all about getting the best quality for the lowest price. About two years ago we learned about Straight Talk, a cooperative effort between Wal-Mart and TracFone to produce a better prepaid cell phone plan that included text, talk and internet. The original product rolled out with some minor glitches with service and phones. Eventually they included better phones and service on not only Verizon's network, but also T-Mobile and AT&T.

Question: I’ve been told to only use a credit card because they are safer and you are less financially exposed to loss than a debit card.

What do you say?

Save on Gas

Becky drives a 2003 Toyota Tacoma. She doesn’t do much driving since she her job is near our home, but whenever she fills her tank she always calculates her gas mileage on our Gas Mileage Tracking Card that she keeps in her car.

Recently she noticed that her mileage dropped from 20 mpg to 17. Her tire pressuer should be 44 pounds of pressure (pounds per square inch—psi) and had dropped to 30 psi.

QUESTION:

My question is about debt. My husband and I have been married for sixteen  
years. We got into debt early in our marriage. We got a loan and paid the  
debt off, now we are back into debt and working on paying it off. How should  
we keep ourselves from getting back into debt after this is paid off and how  
do we keep from adding to the debt we already have?

I know willpower should be the answer, but it is not that easy.
