Kids cost money. There’s no denying that. There are lots of ways to keep the costs of kids down. Using cloth diapers, buying your baby and kid stuff used, and saving on kids clothes are great ways to cut down on the cost of raising children. But what I want to focus on today is how kids will actually save […]
A Month of Groceries for the SixFiguresUnder Family
In an effort to make personal finance public, we’ve shared everything we’ve earned, spent, and paid in debt for nearly two years. Along with that comes some criticism, some questions, and (thankfully) lots of encouragement. One of the most frequent questions I get is about our grocery budget. We have a $300 grocery budget each month for […]
Back to school Shopping– What We’re Buying and What We’re Not
School starts this week! Where has the summer gone!? While many people are scrambling to snag all of the best back-to-school sales, we are taking our time enjoying the last few days of summer. When it comes to back-to-school shopping, we take it pretty easy. If you’re looking for ways to save on back-to-school shopping, staying home […]
Are your investments keeping up with the Joneses?
I have a confession to make. Despite the proud claim of “personal finance made public,” I have omitted any serious discussion about a major part of our family finances. Except for a few indistinct references here and there, I’ve failed to even mention an entire section of our finances over the last two years. I’m talking about […]
July 2015 Debt Repayment Progress Report
We are just seventeen months away from when when we want to have all of our debt paid off. I know the numbers don’t look like that’s possible at this point, but we’re not giving up! Our goal is definitely a stretching goal, as it has never looked possible with the current numbers on paper. We […]
My Elastic Waistband and Your Budget
About two weeks after delivering my littlest little one (and by littlest, I mean my youngest… at 10 lb 6 oz, she was actually my biggest) I put away my maternity clothes. I boxed them up and stacked the boxes in our enormous wall of boxes in the kids room (Have I ever mentioned that […]
Expanding Opportunities for Earning Through Learning
I really enjoy learning. Unfortunately being a professional student not only doesn’t earn an income, it is also very expensive. I often try to find a balance by finding ways where my learning can lead to earning. Sometimes it’s not even in ways that I planned. For example, in college I took a guitar class just for […]
Raspberry Frozen Yogurt– An Easy and Delicious Summer Treat
If you’ve made your own ice cream before, you know that making your own ice cream is not necessarily a frugal experiment. Heavy whipping cream is not cheap! Buying ingredients to make ice cream probably costs more than just buying the ice cream. Frozen yogurt is a different story though. My kids still call it […]
Waiting for a Prime Deal
On Amazon’s Prime Day, my mom called me with some questions. She wanted to know some details about my awesome sewing machine. She knows that I absolutely love it. She got to try it out when she came to visit was hoping to get a similar one for a great deal during Amazon’s supposed big sale. […]
Is buying a used car worth it? A Case Study
Does a used car save money? Or is a used car a money suck? One of the main reasons many people prefer to buy new (or slightly used) cars as opposed to very used cars is the cost of maintenance. People figure that the cost and trouble of maintenance will add up to be close to the […]
