Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
When I was a kid, I wanted nothing more than a dog. A cute squishy-faced little pug to be specific.

But, what I didn’t realize when I was younger (naturally) is how expensive having a dog is. So if you’re thinking of
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and that means it’s time to pick out the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your significant other… ughh. I know. I feel ya — luckily for you, I have devised a list of gifts that are definitely bound to impress (though I guarantee nothing…). Here they are: For the D-I-Yer: A Date Night Memory Book If you fancy yourself particularly
I am the queen of low-cost entertainment. While I don’t mind the occasional “fun” expenditure, the cost of doing things these days simply boggles my mind.

But those who set up multiple streams of income have a little extra freedom and choice. Are you considering setting up multiple income streams?

Happy New Year, welcome to 2019! It’s time to put together that list of New Years Resolutions we’ll be gung-ho for until the end of January when we seemingly “forget” that they exist – oh, is that just me? I both love and loathe New Years. I crave the fresh new start that it brings every year but am disappointed by the fact that
Saving money can be challenging for the most disciplined. It’s hard to resist the urge to spend money that’s sitting in an account, especially if you have things you sort of need to purchase. Not actual needs, but things you think you need. If this sounds like something you struggle with then maybe the 52-week savings challenge (aka the 52 Week Savings Challenge) is for
The post-Christmas season can be a crazy time to grab some great deals. While Black Friday and its aftermath (Black Saturday and Cyber Monday) are one of the biggest shopping times in America, the post-Christmas period can be a great time to land on some post holiday sales.
