When my husband was in school for his JD/MBA, we had one of my husband’s classmates and his family over for their first American Thanksgiving dinner. The Korean couple was interested to learn about the traditional meal and try foods they’d never tried before. The bright orange color of sweet potatoes was particularly curious to […]
Can You Really Get Refunded for Cell Data You Don’t Use?
You may have heard the hype earlier this year about getting refunded for cell data that you don’t use. If you’re like me, then you probably thought it sounded to good to be true or figured it didn’t really apply to you. In fact after reading a little about the Republic Refund Plans, I was pretty […]
Kid Gifts Worth Unplugging For
Does anyone else think it’s sad that kids these day spend so much time glued to screens? Between cell phones, tablets, televisions, consoles, and computers, there is very little time they aren’t in front of (if not holding) something electronic. You don’t have to look very far to figure out where this phenomenon comes from. Most […]
Arguments for a Seasonal Wardrobe (plus get $40 of free clothes!)
We had a pretty warm fall and then just last week the cold hit. We’ve been scrambling to put away shorts and pull out the long sleeves and sweaters. Changing seasonal clothing can be quite an ordeal. Call me weird, but I kind of enjoy the seasonal clothing swap, both for the kids and for myself. […]
Don’t Do What I Do
If our monthly debt repayment progress reports have left you feeling discouraged or frustrated, this post is for you. By far the majority of my readers are truly supportive and completely encouraging. Not only do you leave words of encouragement for me, I often receive kind messages from you sharing that you are encouraged by me. I […]
Inexpensive Handmade Gifts– Easy, Practical, and Beautiful
I love homemade gifts. Handmade gifts require time, energy and a piece of your heart. The problem is that once you gather all the supplies for some homemade gifts, they can end up being much more expensive than their store-bought counterparts. There are lots of homemade gifts you can make very inexpensively. I bet you […]
October 2015 Debt Repayment Progress Report
October was a kind of expensive month. There wasn’t anything in particular that happened, we just let our spending get high (for us) in a lot of categories as you’ll see below. Our debt payment wasn’t very impressive either, but we’re not losing momentum. Isn’t it crazy that $58K could feel like the “home stretch?” We […]
The Cost of a Subsequent Baby– The First 6 Months
A quick Google search will tell you that your first child will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $16,000 a year. Apparently the cost of a second child goes down to 80% of what the first one costs. Holy guacamole! I’m pretty certain that we have not spent that much on all four of our […]
How I Became an Entrepreneur… and you can too!
Being an entrepreneur is in my blood. Growing up I watched my mom use her creativity to help supplement my dad’s income. As a professor, he didn’t usually get paychecks during the summer, so my mom’s income was very helpful. Ever since I can remember, she has taught dozens of piano students. She has done freelance calligraphy work […]
Frugal Living Tips for College Students
I talk a lot about student loan debt on Six Figures Under, but the truth is that I have never had a single student loan to my name. I completed my bachelor’s degree without any debt. There were many factors that made that possible, but the one I want to focus on today is living […]
