Minister's wife

West Frankfort, Ill.

1-I'm not currently using a credit card, but I use a debit card for as little as $5. We never have cash. In two years of marriage my husband Tyler and I haven't had to use credit yet.

2-I like the theme to the TV series "24." The show is exciting and we recently finished watching all the episodes. The theme song is fast-paced, like the show.

3-When I was a kid, I knew I wanted to do something in the ministry, and now I'm the wife of the minister at Second Baptist Church in West Frankfort. We host a weekly youth fellowship for 12 kids at our house with games, snacks and lessons. I participate in the youth Sunday school class, recently decorated for a women's ministry Christmas event, hosted a baby shower and planned a fall bonfire for the group.

4-For my Lord and savior Jesus Christ for forgiving all my sins an giving me the hope of heaven to come. I'm also grateful for my wonderful husband and our family in Wisconsin and Alabama.

Senior Theatre & Dance major at Southeast Missouri State University

Owasso, Okla.

1-I'll use a debit card for as little as $1. I try to keep it at $5 and above, because it seems ridiculous to use a card for something less than $5.

2-If I had to narrow it down, I'd say it's the theme song to "The Simpsons." It's classic, and I grew up with "The Simpsons.

3-I wanted to be so many things. I wanted to be a teacher for a long time, and eventually a singer. I guess I'm doing that now since I'm a musical theater major. I'm auditioning, and hoping to head to St. Louis and have box office jobs for about five years to build a resume. Then? New York City.

4-We do this as a family at Thanksgiving. We go around the table and mom asks everyone to say three things we're grateful for.

1-I'll use a debit card for as little as 30 cents. I don't carry cash. I'll be I use the card five times a day.

2-Current favorite is the Nickelodeon version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." The show is animated, and it's a throwback to the original when I was a child. It's simplistic. TV themes should have lyrics.

3-I wanted to be an artist, and I am. I do a lot of paintings and had an art show in April. I paint in acrylics. watercolors are too mess, and I can't stand the smell of oil.

4-My beautiful wife Riley. We were married one year in August. She's my best friend, absolutely gorgeous and helps me keep my mind on the important things in my life. Somebody to come home to makes it all worth it.

Owner of Reclaimed Furnishings & Gifts

Altenburg, Mo.

1-Probably $10. I may use a debit card five times a week. As a small business owner, we know what the charges are for credit card use.

2-"Big Bang Theory" because nobody really knows the lyrics. "And it all started with a big bang! Hey!"

3-As a kid, I wanted to do something in art. Then, at one point I wanted to be a singer, but I can't sing a note. Now I'm doing what I love -- refinishing furniture and home decor.

4-Family, family, family. My wonderful husband Nick and my three beautiful children -- Haven, Reagan and Trenton. They never stop making me smile and they make me realized how precious life is.
