If it were up to me, I would eat peanut butter and jelly, salads and smoothies for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and maybe even in that order!) Unfortunately, you can't really get away with that type of lifestyle when you have a family. Something about "balanced meals blah blah blah" :) I really only have three good, go-to meals and, after several months of repeating those meals, plus throwing Continue Reading
How Are You Paying Off Debt?
I've been paying off debt for the last 8 years, and over this time, I've talked about debt a lot. In fact, one of the reasons I started this blog was because I talked about debt so much, my family got sick of it. "Go tell someone else!" they told me. Since I had exhausted all my friend/family reserves, I decided to start this blog to document how I'm paying off debt, my challenges, and to Continue Reading
5 of the Best Affordable, Thoughtful Gifts for Dads
"Don't get me anything - I'll be fine with a book or some socks!" Does this sound like your Dad? If so, we might be related. It's become somewhat of a joke on TV shows - getting the best gift for Dad is impossible!

October 2017 Sephora Play Box Review
Omg, it’s November! Can you believe how quickly October went by? It’s the holiday season, hooray! One thing I love to get for the holidays is make up, skin and hair products. Usually I pick it out and then send the links to my Mom, and she chooses from there, but still - it still seems like a surprise!

Subscription Boxes Are Not the Reason You’re Still in Debt
Occasionally I’ll see things on the web that inspire a blog post, and something that has popped up here and there in the personal finance sphere is subscription boxes. Specifically, how they’re a waste of money and if you buy them, you’re a lazy, uncreative Millennial who must enjoy wasting her money. I say ‘her’ because it seems to me that people who say subscription boxes are a “waste of money” Continue Reading
Thinking of Leaving Your Job? 9 Steps to Prepare

My husband works and has a good job, but with my student loan debt, we Continue Reading
Are Grocery Delivery Services Worth It?
It all started with a promise, a promise I made to myself and my phone: everything I put in you, Notes app, I will buy at the store and not a single thing more.
