When most of us think about savings accounts we just think of the standard one that comes when you open up a bank or credit union account. You have a saving account and a checking account. End of story. Right? Wrong. Having multiple savings accounts can be a budget and financial lifesaver. Sure, you can have just one and just add to it without thinking about anything else. Or you could even have just one and keep a tally in a notebook or Excel spreadsheet of what all that money is being saved … [Read more...]
Amazon Prime Benefits- Beyond Two-Day Shipping
You're online. You're reading a blog. Therefore, you probably know about Amazon Prime. You hear about it everywhere! It took me years to finally purchase Prime. I wasn't sure it was worth it. Oh my goodness, I wish I had done it sooner! Yes, I love the two-day shipping. That is a huge benefit for someone who orders from Amazon all the time.

Happy, Frugal Life- April 2018
As much as I love writing this post each month, I almost forgot it this month! April has been the busiest months so far this year. So much so that I have decided that at least the first week of May will be lowkey, maybe even the second week as well! Why was it so busy? Read on! General review April had Easter, a birthday party to attend two hours away, three Thirty-One parties, multiple dance rehearsals, two dance recitals, doctor appointments, and general life chaos. Sure, most of it was fun … [Read more...]
