- My favorite day... I get to sit down and figure out my financial well-being... I do a weekly check that just makes sure I'm staying "in line." The end of the month check though is a lot more thorough.April has seen a growth of 4.88% from March and...

- I often treat myself to a reward after succeeding with a financial goal.When I started 2014, one item I wanted to get a better control of was my spending on groceries. Well, for the first three months of 2014, I have cut out $100 a month on my food...
- My favorite time of the month the end of it. Tonight, Ill sit down and do a check to see how good (or bad) I did for the month. You see, I have never worked a budget. But I have consistently kept track of the money I have. By looking at my...
- I'm starting to get tired of throwing money into a savings account and getting very little in return.I really added to this one account because it was for emergency funds. Well, I now have 16 months in funds for this purpose. I'm still going to...
- Oh those best laid plans. I really thought I would breeze through January and February before the money crunch started. The money crunch being how much money I want to save... which for the year I hope to be 50% of my gross pay.January was easy. ...
