That article says "Linda prides herself on her ability to pay her own way. She paid cash for her car. She doesn't have credit cards. She saves up to travel."
Prides herself??? She admits in the newer article she bought that stuff with money she borrowed on her house. Paying cash for a car and paying off credit cards is easy when you borrow against your home.
Hmmmm. The previous article reads just like this one and was written in March of 2010. Something weird here. Ages and properties not adding up. Will do more hunting in the AM.
