Each year I bring them together in my Grandma Rie’s Money Camp and focus on different aspects of personal finance, with saving being a focus in each camp.

Back in October 2003, I left a corporate career as a department store buyer with a nice reliable paycheck and benefits– including health insurance –to join my husband in the land of self-employment.

While some families are doing this while living comfortably, others are forced to make spending cuts just to survive until the next paycheck hits the bank. Reducing meat consumption can help you to save you money and improve your health. The average American household consumes more and more meat every year and prices are skyrocketing.

And I’m talking about all forms of insurance, from health to life and even home insurance. With a better credit score rating, you have access to better financing options, which, in turn, can help you take advantage of future investment opportunities. That’s a small amount to pay for that level of peace of mind as a parent.

When your produce comes exclusively from freezers and cans and your meals are overly carb heavy and processed all for the sake of saving a few bucks, what kind of health cost are you incurring?

Besides writing on my personal finance blog, A Debt Free Stress Free Life, I’m an adjunct professor at a local college and own a residential and commercial cleaning business. I don’t eat processed food so for me most of my savings come from health and beauty and household products. Review bank accounts daily.
