  Welp, we are coming up on the two-month mark since I was laid off from my job. So, I thought I’d provide an update. This is going to be somewhat of a vulnerable post and I’m putting it all out there. So forgive me now :). It’s been busy. I apply to jobs every single…

• 12 Months of Grateful – February

  

  This is the second month of my 12 Months of Grateful series. I have a few things I’d love to highlight for you! I received my annual bonus and raise this month. It’s always a good thing to receive extra money, right? My manager said it wasn’t as high as he’d asked for, but I’m…

• 4 Ways I am Saving For Retirement

  I’m going to be as honest as I can be here. I am 44 (next week) and I am SO not prepared for retirement.  I don’t want to go the route a lot of elderly middle to lower-income families are going and work until I’m put in the grave. That is an injustice to those…

• Taking a Page From our Millennial Generation. Don’t Settle.

  

  I have to admit something to you all.  I am TOTALLY jealous of the Millennial generation. Not only because I’d love to relive my youth… (Oh come on, you all know you want to relive your youth. You can’t lie to me! :)) And certainly not because when they do stupid things, it’s all online…

• RV Budgeting That Won’t Break the Bank. What Can the RV life Cost?

  

  You all may remember a post I did on Six of my Favorite Campers. I went in and really researched what is out there that I could use if it were just me traveling. Now, keep in mind, I do hope to live in one while working from the road.  That is my goal once…

• Single Mom and a Short Sale

  I mentioned in a previous post here that I recently moved from Delaware to Pennsylvania. I had a home that I was paying a mortgage on and had to take care of that before I moved. I knew I couldn’t sell the home. I had lost WAY too much money on it.  I bought the…
