I was reading up on how to save money, when I saw a link that piqued my interest. It was a quiz that determines whether or not you are a compulsive shopper. I took it just to make myself feel better that there are really people worse off than I am, when it comes to spending. I […]
I spend a lot of time thinking about the best things for me and my family. I agonize over decisions and always hope I’m doing the right thing. The past few months, my husband and I have been doing a lot of house planning. He has a very good accounting job and my freelancing pay […]
If you gave your teen $1000 as a graduation present, how would he (and by he I mean he or she) spend it? Would he use it to help defray college costs or invest it in a savings bond? Would he put it in savings or spend it on a new gaming system. […]
This is the time of year I dread. Tax time. Mind you, I don’t handle the family taxes. My husband the accountant takes care of all that. But since I started freelancing it’s become more difficult to keep track of receipts and expenses and everything else we need to write off.

If you’re like most of us, you have a cup or container designated to contain spare chage. I have a glass bowl on my dresser and a five gallon jar in the garage. Some of the spare change is used for milk money or parking meters. Every now and then we’ll roll up all […]
I like to think I’m a bit green. While there are still many things I need to learn and many steps I need to take, I do believe there are small things we can all do to help make the earth a little greener, and save some money in the process. Most of these […]
