If you’ve ever eaten homemade cookies before, you’ve probably tasted the Toll House recipe. It’s a list of steps that brings about a generic budget completely void of any hopes, dreams and personal aspirations. You can’t get what you want out of your personal finances on the Toll House budget.

How to Save Money shares with us how we can keep our finances safe when buying items online. We personally use Quicken and we find it works great for reviewing our finances. Sustainable Personal Finance tells us how they make healthy lunches from home and save. What did you do? Managing Money. Going Frugal.

That’s good for the Earth and for personal finances. I happened upon some old canning Mason jars at a garage sale, and now we use those for everything–making iced tea in the summer, putting leftover soup in, holding our homemade laundry detergent. They’re very durable. Conserve utilities.

Each year I try to help my kids teach their kids about personal finance. We have a week long Grandma Money Camp during which we have activities, games, books, movies and lessons about things related to personal finance. Making a garden stepping stone is not difficult or expensive, but does require some adult supervision.
