spending my fun money
I’ve been saving up some “Fun Money” for myself for a while now. This usually consists of blog income, advertising income, etc that I split 50/50 - half for myself and half to send to credit cards. I was able to save up $150 this way and I ended up spending it ALL yesterday on [...]
resisting the temptation to splurge
This article on temptation over at My Daily Dollars inspired me to think about how I’ve changed when it comes to my shopping habits. I’m not talking grocery shopping or buying the things we need, but instead the shopping that comes from being a self proclaimed shopaholic.

a few water-centered purchases
I got a coupon in the mail for $15 off a purchase of $50 or more from Meijer since a new store just opened up near me. I decided to go get a few things that I had been eyeing, and I was able to save a decent chunk of money.

dressing classy while on a budget?
This is a more feminine-based post about clothing and style. Just an FYI.
Ok. I need help. I’ve been out of a job since March. Even when I worked there, we had a dress code (khaki pants, blue shirts). My closet is full of clothes I don’t feel feminine or happy about. (I admit, a lot [...]

A few weeks ago I won a $25 Amazon gift card from ExpoTV, and I’ve been struggling how to spend it! For the first time in my life, I couldn’t figure out how to spend money…free money at that! But, I finally spent most of it and I think I’m content with what I chose.

cost per use: take a moment to think about it!
I’m currently in Chicago on a business trip with the hubby. Taking that into consideration, I asked a few inspirational PF bloggers to write a guest post for me this week.
