You can even reward them with extra allowance with the money saved on gasoline and car upkeep. And vice versa!)

I’ve been teaching part time for over 25 years. I like to bake and read, and I spend time chauffeuring kids to activities and games. I volunteer at my kids’ school at lunch time and other events. What’s the “why” behind your money-saving efforts? Why do I want to save money?

What’s the “why” behind your money-saving efforts? Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm. I usually take laundry pods & wash clothes wherever for less luggage/cost. This means funds are tight.

My dad was a blue-collar worker – a machine operator on the railroad who sometimes got laid off for periods of time in the winter. My mom cut coupons and sewed her own clothes and mine, as well.
