I haven't tried that hard to grow this blog because I have it more as a diary than a source of income. Full disclosure: I have not made a penny off this blog, ever! The biggest changes have to be my decision to become a full time college student. Another big change was my family's eating habits.

Current job postings for full-time and part-time opportunities. With some drugs, even a one time use can cause permanent damage.

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 like to have enough means to travel and visit family and friends, so being frugal in some areas helps us be generous in others.

We make things far too complicated; start with these small things and watch your savings grow!
