Personal Finance and Lifestyle Guide
Tiffany Raiford is a lifelong Floridian, wife to my high school sweetheart and mother of four littles (two girls and boy/girl twins...no, they are not identical and yes, I'm sure). My kids love to whine, so I love to wine. My loves include nap time, bed time, date night, travel and evenings and weekends when my husband is home because he handles all diaper changes.
Taxes. Yuck. I have nothing else to say about those, but I need a few more words or else it was a pointless post that isn’t helping anyone with anything other than justifying your feelings that taxes are gross. No one wants to earn money by working hard and putting forth so much effort only […] More
We talk a lot about cash back credit cards and business credit cards, but it’s been a while since we’ve considered the great value of a travel credit card. It’s not really a card that benefits you much if you don’t travel but if you do, it can be highly rewarding on a regular basis. […] More
Sometimes we go through life learning lessons that are so valuable they cannot often be put into words. Other days we remember to brush our teeth before noon and we put on pants before our husband comes home from work so we can pretend we had a useful and productive day with the kids. The […] More
Good health has always been a priority for me, but it’s become more so since I turned 32 last year. I noticed that my good genes, the ones that just burned off all the fat and calories and made it possible for me to give birth to four kids in the course of three pregnancies […] More

Do you know who a hiring manager is? He or she is the person responsible for even bothering to call you back for an interview once you submit your resume via the internet or email or even in person. This is the person who gets to take a look at your resume and get to […] More
Gone are the days when the kids don’t want you walking them to class or kissing them goodbye in front of their friends. My kids went back to school today (half of them, anyway). They’re in kindergarten and third grades; and nothing I could have done embarrasses them. They love me. They currently think that […] More
One of the best feelings in life is taking that diploma at graduation and realizing that you’re done with school. You’ve made it; you have a college education. The future is limitless, filled with possibilities and you will rock the world like no one else’s business. For many, this is true. For some, it’s just […] More
Being a Florida girl, I have a very diverse taste in music. At any given moment you might find me rocking out to Justin Timberlake before a little Flo Rida comes on and makes me dance even harder, before something by Luke Bryan comes on and makes me feel the need to open a beer […] More
We typically pride ourselves on saving a few dollars by resisting the urge to buy something while shopping. It is a nice feeling, too. We reach for something to take home with us and immediately put it back and think that we really don’t even need this item. We feel a sense of goodness […] More
I cannot drive a car without an actual outlet in it. I’ve become so spoiled over the course of the past few years with my last SUV and my current SUV. I have outlets in the back, and that means I can charge anything from my phone to my actual flat iron so I can […] More
My husband and I have a strange obsession; we really love looking at the houses that are for sale in our neighborhood. Perhaps it stems from years of looking at houses for sale in our neighborhood before we even lived here since it’s our dream neighborhood. You know the one. The neighborhood that makes people’s […] More
