Helping Mom Save Money and Feel Independent
As we get closer to winter here in the Northwest, everyone’s minds start thinking about power outages, storms, and cold weather. Normally we only have a few power outages each year and they traditionally don’t last very long. Once in awhile, we get hit with horrible storms that cause power outages that can last a number of days. Where we live, we normally don’t lose
Personal Finance on Reddit
I don’t know if I should admit this or not, but I’ve been spending too much time on Reddit lately. If you aren’t familiar with Reddit, it’s a website that sucks you in and never lets you leave. Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic but the reality is that there is SO much content on Reddit that it’s hard to walk away from it. If
I Made a Stupid Financial Decision
I think they should write a book about people that have buyer’s remorse, or at least sort of have buyer’s remorse. I walked in to an Apple store a couple days ago and bought a 32GB Iphone 5. For those of you that don’t follow Apple products as if they were a cult object, that means I spent $299 on the phone. I also decided
A Missed Opportunity on Investment Properties
I have spent the better part of the last year looking for a rental house to purchase. At one point I got really excited and put an offer in on a house a few blocks from me that the bank was dumping for 50% of it’s value because it was missing all the windows.

How I Saved Myself $2500
Appliances are some of the best inventions in the world. They’ve made household chores so much easier and have drastically sped up the time it takes to make dinner (that’s how we cook at my house a lot). The only drawback to appliances is that sometimes they break. We have one of those “in wall” microwave/oven combos. It’s a Jenn-air model that came with the
Tool Lending Libraries Can Save You Money!
Have you ever needed a tool that you didn’t own to complete a job around the house? Have you ever worked on your car and had to run to the store to buy a tool to get the job done? Do you have limited space and don’t want to fill it with tools you’ll hardly ever use? Are you on a limited income and don’t
