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).

No matter how much you try not to, you probably make a few mistakes with your money. Maybe you go a little over-budget when you’re shoe shopping or maybe you splurged a bit more than you should have on your last vacation. It’s never a bad time to decide you want to be a little […] More
