Instead, put that leftover cash into your savings accounts. It’s an actual need.

One of the most fascinating facts I learned was that the Kilimanjaro Safari attraction is so large you can place the ENTIRE Magic Kingdom inside of it and there would still be leftover space for parking. That means Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios can all fit inside Animal Kingdom, with leftover acres! Relaxed Edition!

Microwave: When I was in college, I would have loved to have the magic eraser to clean the microwave! All I had to do was scrub the glass with the sponge, and it got not only the sticker off but also the leftover sticky stuff. Leave it there overnight and by morning, no more toilet ring! those annoying stickers would not get it off.

We sent them off on Monday morning and they came home Saturday afternoon. One of the gift cards was given to us TWO years ago for Christmas. We want to be debt free.

We always account for one night for a date night out and one or two nights to take care of leftovers. After graduating college, I packed up my car and moved to Arizona for a job that was supposed to last five months. Each Sunday, I sit down with our calendar and see how many nights we will both be home where I can cook.

Mise en place for a recipe Even in college, when I was living in a dorm, and had a dining hall meal plan that meant I could get whatever I wanted whenever I wanted it, I still cooked and baked. They finished around the time I was finishing high school, and then there was college – my sister’s freshman year was my senior year!

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). We also want to get our kids through college without them having loans to pay back, and we are 1 out of 4 on that so far! I make bone broth now!

I had been at my previous job for 17 years (straight out of college) and it had turned into a very toxic situation. I’d send some to my nieces to help with their college expenses and would donate half to our local food pantry. Now I like that she has some leftover/easier nights sprinkled in as it matches our life more closely.

The good news is that we’ve been able to cash flow these expenses, but the bad news is there wasn’t much additional leftover to apply towards our loan. Start college funds for both girls.
