4 Steps to a Money Saving Plan
Last year was not the best year for me as far as saving money. So many things hit that it just became not as important. Or we wiped out what we had every time we saved.

As it was a 2002 and a cheaply build car, that $2000 wasn't going to last long before more repairs … [Read more...]

Some months all I was able to do was cook from scratch and use coupons. Other months I have a lot of different ways I saved. Here is how I was able to save money over the month of July.
