Saving Cents With Sense

JUNE 5, 2013

While a lot of people try taking big steps – selling their large homes and moving into smaller ones, for example – there are also a number of smaller steps that can be taken to cut down your costs.

Managing Money. This story really hit home for me. You see, I was too young to fully appreciate what I had and I didn’t manage my money as well as I should. Little House in the Valley tells us how we can save money by partnering with our neighbours. Going Frugal. It went FABULOUS!! I got carried away.

It is a perfect fit for me, as frugality is my hobby and passion, but I also find myself very attracted to the “go green” movement. The fact that the Prairie EcoThrifter focuses heavily on both topics – frugality and green living – really appealed to me. For the most part, I am perfectly happy being at home.

Making homemade baby food is beyond easy, it really doesn’t take much time and baby will choose it over that jar of flavorless mush any day, and that doesn’t even begin to hit on the nutritional benefits of home preparation. Doesn’t it seem only natural that home prepared baby food is the most cost effective? What’s not to love?

Managing Money. Her first tip is to make a money date. However, since we have been doing these our money management has improved and instead of being stressed and feeling guilty we actually celebrate our success. I now get excited to look at our money stuff and see how much our net worth has increased the last week.

Yesterday on my walk home from work I was flying high. Usually when I walk home, I listen to a book. Managing Money. Financial Highway discussed money and ignorance. There are many people in our circle of friends who haven’t even started thinking about savings and retirement. I had a few smile back too.
