Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
If you could find a way to save a recurring $50 each month in a total of twelve months you’d be able to cut your budget by $600 in one year! While it might feel overwhelming to find 12 different sources of income to save in one month doing these tasks one month at a time is a pretty reasonable plan. If you’re ready to
I’ve been on a big time management kick lately. It all started when I set the goal to triple my income in six months. Since then I’ve made steady strides and have been able to dramatically increase my productivity. For those of you looking to earn more income, whether that be from a side hustle or your work from home job, or for anyone who
Happy Friday! Hope you had a good week. Has anyone had snow where they live yet? We got out first round of flurries on Wednesday and I was so not ready for that! If you’re staying in inside this weekend to keep warm here’s some reading to keep you company! Is Buying a Home a Good Investment? @CFinancialFreedom How Our Financial Outlook is Influenced by
Once upon a time I didn’t worry about saving energy. My electric and heating costs never fluctuated much, even in the super cold months. Then after getting divorced I moved into a trailer. I went from having $150 heating bills in a 1400 sq. ft. home to having $500 heating bills in a 900 sq ft trailer! Those bills stretched my budget to the max.
Somewhere along the road I’ve kind of veered away from talking about one of my favorite topics: making money! I’m a big idea person. (Which is a blessing and a curse!) I have so many money making ideas floating around in my head that sometimes it’s hard to know which ones to act on. This gives me a chance to get some of my ideas
How was your week? It is downright cold out here! It was in the forty’s last week and has now dropped down to the thirty’s. It’s feeling a whole lot like Winter right now! I’ll probably just stay in this weekend and keep myself warm. How about you? As always here are some of my favorite posts from the week. Enjoy! Can You Use K-Cups
Sears online store has always been known as the place where you can save more than a few hundred dollars on anything listed in their shop. All their discounts can go from saving you “only” 50 bucks on clothes but can also be surprisingly shocking and save you more than $500 on a mattress. In case you have never visited their web store, maybe it
I used to get so stressed out when November rolled around. I’d start thinking about what kind of gifts I’d need to buy, whose house I was going to go to this year (divorced family), and how I’d be able to afford all of it. It wasn’t enjoyable. Then I had kids and that changed everything. I didn’t want the holidays to be filled with
You’ve tried your hand at budgeting. Creating detailed spreadsheets, tracking what you’re spending for a few days, whipping out envelopes and filling them with cash, but nothing ever stuck. After about a week of full throttle budgeting you gave up. Your spending went back to normal and you decided your personal finances will be doomed forever. Does that sound like you? If so, don’t feel
Happy Halloween! I took my kids trick or treating last night and it was freeeezing! It always seems to work out like that. Do you have any big plans for the weekend? The girls and I are going to see Disney on Ice Sunday and I can’t tell you how excited I am. I know this will be a memory they don’t forget :) As
