In fact, there were quite a few readers in our Facebook group who had big expenses hit in September, […]
Fiverr Side Hustle Challenge– Accepted
Throughout September we focused on trimming expenses by having a no-spend month. While reducing spending is an important part of getting financially healthy, earning extra money (as long as you don’t equally increase your spending) can have a bigger effect on your bottom line. In October my focus will be on earning extra income. I was invited to […]
No-Spend Month Update #4: We Made It!
Tomorrow is technically the last day of our no-spend month, but this will be the final update. I think it’s safe to say that we made it and did pretty well. As most of you know, our normal budget is already pretty trim, as we’re working toward our goal of paying off our debt by […]

Is a Used Car Worth It? An Update and Case Study #2

It really helps to have all of you as my virtual accountability partners. […]
Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Homemade Deodorant– Natural, Aluminum-Free– Primal Pit Paste Inspired

When I was a teenager, my dad, a biologist, would tell me that antiperspirant wasn’t good for your body because it inhibits the body’s natural sweating ability. While men can easily find deodorant that isn’t antiperspirant, there aren’t any such options in the women’s deodorant section. In […]
