Here are some links that caught my attention this week.
PaidTwice has a fantastic list of ways to stay in debt forever. When you read her list, you might think, “That’s so obvious–I would never do that!” But people do those things every day. I’ve been guilty of several of these before I started to get [...]

I love May. It’s the month the leaves really start forming on trees, flowers are blooming, and the weather warms up a bit. This May was fun–I told you we’re having a baby, Shane and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary, and we went on a lovely trip to Florida.
At the beginning of May, I told [...]

This story on CNN.com made me mad.
Renters are being affected by this foreclosure mess, too. In the article, one family dutifully paid rent on time. They’re probably going to get kicked out of their home, because the owner of the rental house is behind on the mortgage. Good grief. The family will lose their home [...]

I enjoy the convenience of paying my bills online. If I can go through a particular company’s web site to pay bills, I do that, or I have my bank draft a check and mail it to them on my behalf. It saves me an envelope and a postage stamp each time. Plus, when it’s [...]

Can we possibly have it all? Can Shane have a job that fulfills him, pays enough money, and lets us live close to family? I don’t know if we can have all three things at once, but we’re going to try.

Back in January when I bought a Wahl clipper set, I sent away for a $5 mail-in rebate. I took a high-resolution photo of all of my rebate materials first.

Our trip to Fort Myers came and went so quickly! I can’t believe it’s already over. That’s how good times go, I guess–they fly by! We did a few things right, in terms of saving money, but there are a few things we should have done much better.
Right:
We chose a vacation rental house for the [...]

Shane and I went to the mall this afternoon and talked to the folks at Kay. We sized his finger and talked about the ring we wanted. The list price there? $499. I told the guy that Zales had it for $399, and that I was able to find it even cheaper online. He was [...]
