Just because an item is more expensive than another, doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a better quality. After all, is a designer purse really all that more durable than a no-name purse made of the same material? While some expensive things are worth pining for (I still dream of flying first class internationally!), some […] More
Verizon Wireless is a huge cell phone provider, and it’s one of the best (I’ve used and loved Verizon for the past 12 years myself) but sometimes their plans can get a bit expensive. With four phones on our line, as well as a wireless internet card and a plan that was grandfathered in several […] More
The problem with saving money is that everyone wants to do it, but few people actually know how. Your first mistake is thinking that you can’t start now; you might think you can’t save until you lower your monthly expenses or until you are paid next, but you can start right now. In fact, you […] More
It’s every woman’s dream come true: Saving money by spending money. It sounds counterintuitive, but like I tell my husband regularly, an investment is a good way to save money (and sometimes I actually mean it). Believe it or not, sometimes it’s better to spend more money because it will help you save more money. […] More
Saving money at the grocery store is something we could all learn to do. It’s difficult though, isn’t it? You shop hungry and come home with a bunch of stuff you really don’t need. You shop all at once and you come home without half the stuff you do need. You leave without a list […] More

We all have spending habits we could improve upon. Some of the most common spending habits people have are things you might not think about; that daily latte, that daily cab ride, that daily lunch out with girlfriends. We all have our own spending habits and there’s nothing wrong with that; unless our spending habits […] More
These days, who isn’t looking to save a little money wherever they can? Saving money, even if you’re not living on a strict budget, is always a good goal to have. However, you’re probably tired of seeing the same money saving advice every time you turn around. You already know to make a list before […] More
With winter in full swing here in Florida, everyone gets a big break on their utility bill for a few months. As it stands, winter here means days that have a gorgeous temperature in the mid to upper 70s and cool nights in the 50s and 60s. What this means for us is that we […] More
Buying gas is never fun. I remember when I first started driving I could fill up my car for a solid $12 each and every time. Now I drive a car about the same size and I fill it up for approximately $60 every 350 miles – and it uses the expensive gas which is […] More
One of the biggest questions people ask when starting a family and making the decision to either cut down on their work hours or stay home all together is how they can save money with a growing family. Some families are fortunate enough not to have to worry about this detail, but there are always […] More
This is it; Christmas is hours away and you’re left wondering how you’re going to survive yet another trip to the mall for that last gift you forgot to purchase (don’t let it make you feel like an unorganized failure; we all forgot something this year). The mall, while usually a place you love and […] More
