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.
Being part of a couple is a great feeling. You get to have your best friend by your side all the time. He’s the person who you get to have kids with, who you get to spend your nights with, and he’s the first person you call when something happens. However, not all couples are […] More
There are plenty of things in life worth caring about, and just as many that are so not worth caring about. What defines you is what you care about. Now is the time to stop and take stock in the things you care about and decide whether or not you care for the right reasons. […] More
Everyone does things they shouldn’t. Sometimes I have that extra glass of wine, knowing that it’s a bad idea. Sometimes I wake up in a bad mood and take it out on the people around me. We all make mistakes and we all do things we shouldn’t. However, you can’t change your past so there […] More
You are a smart person who knows exactly what you need to do in life to get ahead and to make a difference. However, you might find you are stuck in neutral and cannot figure out why. The reason is simple; there are a few things in life that are simple truths. They are so […] More
People love to say that they only live once. I don’t know if that’s true, and I really don’t care at the moment. However, I do believe that life is meant to be lived, not to be lived through. This is the reason why I am always up for fun. I love to make memories […] More
There are plenty of things in life that we all tolerate. We tolerate traffic, bad drivers, unfortunate weather, and taxes (especially taxes). However, I often wonder why we spend so much of our lives tolerating things that do not deserve our tolerance. Since my husband and I welcomed our first child four years ago, I’ve […] More
Many people are looking for new jobs – or any job – at this moment in time. That means that people are printing their resumes right and left. If you have to urge to look for employment somewhere, you need a resume. You might think you know everything there is to know about creating your […] More
Now that summer is coming to a close and football season is about to start you will probably find yourself spending more time in bars and lounges with your girlfriends or your guy watching games. If you plan on spending your fall doing this, you need to know what it is that your bartender is […] More
It isn’t uncommon to have an off day. We aren’t all perfect all the time. Trust me; I’m a very happy person who is usually in a sunny, happy mood. However, there are days when I just wake up feeling annoyed at the world for no reason that I can find. Additionally, sometimes I just […] More
Now that your kids are back in school it’s time for open houses, meetings with the teachers, and hopefully no meetings with the principal. If you want to ensure that your kids’ school year is the best one yet, take a few minutes to learn what it is your child’s principal won’t tell you, but […] More
When you get married you marry your man’s entire family. That includes his mom. I know many women don’t love their mother-in-laws, which I don’t really get because I adore mine. She’s kind, sweet, wonderful, and treats me just as wonderfully as she does my husband. However, I know I’m a lucky woman and that […] More
There are some people I have such a great deal of respect for, even though I don’t personally know any of them. Flight attendants are some of those people. My husband and I – and our two young daughters – fly often on vacations, conferences, and trips. When you spend this much time on board […] More
