So it’s been quite a while since I’ve created a post for the blog and it’s been even longer (almost 2 years!) since I posted a financial update. You can read the last post I wrote at the beginning of 2019 titled “Student Loan Progress.” For those of you new to the blog, a big part of my intentional living…
So I’m a little late in getting to this post. Honestly I meant to post this last week to go along with the challenge I was hosting this week, but time got away from me. Sometimes life just happens. Tomorrow is the last day of the 5 Days to Purpose-Driven Goals challenge, but if creating purpose-driven goals is something you…
Happy new year and new decade to you! This year I have decided to choose a word for the year. Why a “word of the year”? Well in reflecting on this past year and my goals, I don’t really have any new resolutions to implement. In reflecting on 2019, my personal goal was to enjoy life’s journey (which can be…
Not only is another year coming to a close, but so is a decade! This is the first decade I’ve reflected on as an adult, and in retrospect, there are so many things I’ve accomplished. I feel like my life has changed so much – and for the better! With that, I’ll briefly try to summarize the past 10 years.…
Not long after I started college, I started looking into life insurance. I was concerned with regards to the student loans I was taking out and did not want to burden my family with debt if something were to happen to me. Unfortunately, I did not fully understand life insurance and all the different options. Flash forward 4 years, a…
Happy September! I don’t know about you, but here in the Northeast it became cold September 1st – like 40’s. I dug out my winter-wear and have been wearing sweatshirts non-stop! Am I the only one that Fall snuck up on?!?!?! Anyway, today’s post is all about 5 BIG spending habits that can make or break you. Sure, those lattes…
This week’s post is all about resisting the urge to purchase everything that may be on sale just because it’s a good deal. Is it not such an amazing feeling when you save a bunch of money on an item you purchased? I know that feeling all too well, as I rarely buy anything full price. You can read more…
About a month ago the hubs and I went on a vacation to Tulum, Mexico. We were definitely in need of a vacation and invited the warm weather and relaxation. When we returned we were met with bipolar weather (warm days as high as 60 degrees and others where it was 30 degrees and snowing). I for sure thought that…
I am all about setting specific goals, however it’s way too easy to get caught up in the final destination or goal. I am here today to tell you to celebrate the small steps. Behind every big step you take or goal that you hit there are a bunch of small steps you took to get to that place. I…
I’m still on a finance “kick” so to speak as the hubs and I have paid off another student loan and are two years away from having all private student loans paid in full. I shared these regret-free spending questions with my Budget Challenge Facebook group in January and I’m here to share them with the rest of you now!…
