Just Be Yourself Part ONE

You know I have never been to a blogger conference in the 1 year and eight months that I have been a blogger, does this upset me? In some ways, yes, as I would love to put a face with the bloggers I have been reading about for so long but overall I am happy trying to pay my bills and get my own financial situation straight than try to pay the fees to get into a conference just so I can meet some people who may end up being nothing like their blogs portray them to be. You know that type, I have read about the type too! Those bloggers who are one person on their blogs yet total opposite in real life. I can understand being slightly different …

Keeping It Even

Save Money, Don’t Use Debit Card

It is the year 2010 and the month of July, most families are heading out on various vacations and lately the new thing to do is carry a debit or credit card that is attached to your bank account. It’s easy and less worrisome than carrying around a bunch of cash with you. The problem with using your debit or credit card strictly for most of your transactions means that you may be more apt to spend more money than if you had cash on hand. My new practice is to give myself a weekly allowance, this means each week I have a specific amount of cash on hand in my wallet to use for any miscellaneous expenses beyond those of the normal household bills. I have found that making …
