If you are going on to college in the fall, don’t let summer roll by without doing some preparation work to help you avoid typical college fail points. Time to find out. Talk to any alumni you may know (hint parents, cousins, that kid that went off to college last year) to see what they know about it.

When I was in high school , I worked two (sometimes three) jobs so that I could go to college. Now that I’m out of school and many of my peers are drowning in debt, I’m so glad that I worked my butt off to pay for school in other ways than relying on loans. Your wallet and future self will thank you. Drop Some Courses.

Family Balance Sheet

FEBRUARY 10, 2017

As I reflect back to January 2016, I started that year pretty determined to pay off the balance of our non-mortgage debts. Unfortunately, we did not hit that goal and in part, have made some major changes to our Debt Freedom Plan. Our Debt Freedom Plan Started in 2013: The year 2012 was quite exciting for me and my husband.

The Frugal Girl

MARCH 4, 2024

Our mom stayed home to raise us kids; she went to work part-time in the local school system after both my brother and I were in school. 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. What’s the easiest/hardest part of being frugal?
