Today, I've got a great guest post by Kara from the blog From Frugal to Free. This one is perfect for anyone out there looking to get some last minute travel in before the end [...]

Have you ever find yourself thinking, “if I only made $X more per year, my financial situation would be in much better shape”? Personally, that’s crossed my mind more times than I care to count [...]

Has money ever been so tight that you’ve found yourself standing in the checkout line doing the fuzzy-math of recent transactions in your head, playing the guessing game of whether “Approved” or “Declined” will appear [...]

This post comes courtesy of the good folks over at Zillow.com. Moving out on your own is a rite of passage, a maturing experience and often an unattainable step for many young adults in today’s [...]

A little-known fact about me is I’m a HUGE sports fan. Unfortunately, with all of the changes that have happened over the past few years (having my daughters, starting a business, canceling cable, etc.), I [...]

My oldest daughter is a pint-sized package of fun that keeps us on our toes at all times. At two, she’s already mastered the art of saying whatever is on her mind -- often at [...]

Forgive me for channeling my inner Adele...but I thought it was appropriate since it's been a while. A long while, actually. Like seventy-five days, three hours, and sixteen minutes since I've added a new post [...]

By nightfall Saturday evening, neighborhoods all over the country will be filled with hundreds of little princesses and superheroes knocking on doors and getting their fill of the cavity-inducing-goodness known as trick or treating. Halloween [...]

Dear Credit Card, Do you remember when we were first introduced during freshman orientation? I noticed you in the back of the room and even though you couldn't see me, I could feel that we had an [...]

To tell you the truth, I hadn’t planned to write this post for a while – if ever. I thought that if I hadn’t done a good enough job of mentioning how important having an [...]

  If you've ever embarked on the journey toward improving your finances and enjoyed any semblance of success along the way, you can probably attest that the process of facing your situation head-on and creating a plan, is [...]

As our long, leisurely summer days are coming to an end and most of our vacation has been exhausted, now’s the perfect time to kick things back into gear and finish the rest of the [...]

If you’ve lived long enough, you’ve probably heard some version of the advice that says “if you’ll just fit in - you can get ahead.” It starts in early childhood where, in school, you’re conditioned [...]

I’m a firm believer in transparency. The simple act of removing your façade and showing your true self to the world can mean the difference between people getting to know the real you or the [...]

If you’ve been following this site for a while, then you’re probably aware that I am a HUGE proponent of modifying your lifestyle in the short-term to accomplish your long-term financial goals. The blog is [...]

I can’t say for sure but based on an overarching theme that I’ve noticed on all of my social media accounts, we’re in full-blown wedding season. Maybe I’m just more aware of it this year, [...]

We’ve all seen them. They drive the right cars. Wear the right clothes. Say all the right words. On the surface, they have all of the trappings that you would attribute to someone that has [...]

I’ve spent the last few years making up for the financial mistakes that I made during the first twenty-something years of my life. Like many, I bought into the idea that money (and things) could [...]

The older you get, the more you realize that all of the advice you received growing up wasn’t necessarily ‘good advice.’ Now, sure there were some great nuggets of wisdom thrown in there. Take for [...]

  We LOVE our food. And by 'We', I mean ALL of us. Just look at our Instagram pages. For every one picture of our '#MCM'/'#WCW' (or, if you're single 'le selfie' <--kidding), there are [...]
