Personal Finance and Lifestyle Guide
Budgets are a great thing financially speaking, but they certainly make life seem a lot less fun. Turning down invitation after invitation, forgoing events, skipping fun outings and staying home eating the same boring meals night after night can really cramp your style and put you in a foul mood. Too bad, though; because you […] More
Fun fact; pretty much everyone in my family is a teacher. Okay, so three people in my family are all teachers, but that’s a lot. My mom, my aunt and my best friend/cousin are all teachers, and they love what they do. They don’t get paid much – and they know it – but they […] More
It’s not the big things that break down budgets on a regular basis. It’s the little things. Think of it this way; how often do you go out and buy a new boat or a new car or a new house during the month and add to your expenses and your budget? Not all that […] More
Summer is the word that everyone wants to hear all through the year. You get a break from school and work (hopefully) and you get to spend tons of time just lazing about with your family and your friends. On the other hand, your summer may be adventure- packed and you will find yourself backpacking […] More
It seems that our medical bills are becoming more and more expensive. Even though we are supposed to be able to afford our health insurance now that the affordable care act was passed, we’re spending more than ever and it starts with the plan.

There’s nothing about insurance that is fun; I’ve said that before. In fact, I probably sound like a broken record repeating it but it is oh-so true. Health insurance is impossible and I’m sure we lose our total focus on that one by itself. When it comes to homeowner’s insurance, we are so tired of […] More
If you are a Millennial, you should start learning about your finances as soon as possible. Why? Because good management of your finances will ensure that you can meet all of your needs throughout your lifetime, whereas bad management of your finances can see them waning in the most inopportune of moments. However, it should […] More
Health insurance policies give me a headache. As my husband prepares to embark upon a new venture that means switching to a new insurance plan and dealing with all that fun stuff. I mean, didn’t we just go over health insurance plans at the beginning of the year when it was time to renew through […] More
I’ll be 33 in two months, and I’ve been traveling often since I was 21; but I have never purchased travel insurance (or trip protection as it is sometimes called). Why not? Well, to be quite honest, I never really thought it was that important. My husband and I traveled for years before we had […] More
No one can afford not to have life insurance. It’s too valuable, too helpful and too important to go without. What we hear a lot is that people have so many different – misinformed – opinions regarding life insurance. Some people assume they don’t need it because they don’t work. Some people assume they don’t […] More
There are so many different options associated with saving that we cannot even begin to understand them all. However, we can try. We can try to explain to you what it means to have a certain type of savings for your retirement or just as a form of savings in general. One of the questions […] More
