Perhaps you don’t have a ton of money to invest, but you could buy some dividend stocks and start building your income portfolio. I also find that putting my money to work for extracurricular activities for my son, and for cultural experiences like plays and concerts, are investments in my lifestyle.

My son knows that there are two meeting points out (depending on whether he leaves out the front or out the back) in our neighborhood. I have some money in a savings account that is easy to get to, in case I need it immediately. However, I also keep emergency funds in a taxable investment account.

Save over time to build the funds you will need for the renovations you want. My son had a tile cutter which he loaned to me. Don’t build more than you plan. Related posts: 10 Money Saving Tips for Your Home. The How-To of Savings. Should You Have More Than One Savings Account?

Our son is 29 and biological. We lived off my salary and banked Alan’s even before we were married so that we could build our own house (literally), paying cash as we went. Now I wish those dollars had gone into our savings accounts. Just over the past week, our son replaced the fuel pump and exhaust system on his truck.
