When I was 22, my friends and I were leaving Knotts Berry Farm, and a mini van whips around the corner and some guys were howling at us. We stopped to talk to them, and my sister got one of the guys number and soon started dating him. A year later they brought this guy over to my apartment and it was love at first sight. I told the girls to not look his way because he was mine. LOL. He had a date that night, ditched her and we went out that night . We’ve been together ever since.

After only knowing each other for 3 weeks. My boyfriend, now husband, took me to Catalina Island and spoiled me. He paid for everything although he could not afford it. He was only 22. He paid for everything in credit and continued to buy me things until he completely maxed out his credit cards. He had to work really hard after all that.

I would put a down payment on a new car for my husband, because he rarely treats himself so he can make the rest of the family happy, and the rest would go to a compounding interest savings account for our children. We have two, and we have the most amazing relationship with our son and daughter. I have a lot of health problems and want to make sure they have some security for their future. We are super tight knit and they spend a lot of time with us.
