Michele, I used that method for awhile and had exactly that problem. It is a great plan in theory and goes perfectly with Legacy, but impractical for my own use. I found myself not wanting to add spouses in for collateral lines because it would just add another number. There were lots of empty slots between MRIN's that were were active and lots of binders being taken up. Plus, that's a lot of money being spent on tabs! I just recently switched to a surname/family group system that I like much better. I didn't realize that was what she was teaching in her webinar. I signed up and will probably still attend, but I'm disappointed.
