Money is one of the major factors in our quality of life. The amount of money we have, or lack thereof, can make or break us. It is sad that this is the case, but it simply is what it is at this moment in time. And sometimes, money can just downright make us cry….
I’ve been writing and blogging about ways to save money for almost three years now. It’s something close to my heart as I work through ways to cut more costs in our household. Good money management consists of a few facets, one being saving the money you make. Today, I wanted to show you two…
I wanted to take a moment to share something that happened over the past few weeks. I think it’s very important to hear and hopefully most agree with my stance here. Basically, this is an open letter to my wife (and all moms out there). If you don’t know me, I’m a married father of…
Before you jump the gun and think I was doing something illegal, I assure you, everything was on the up and up. I did nothing illegal to earn this money. It was just a really good month and I used Craigslist to fuel that extra money. I’ve always been a fan of looking around to…
You might read this title and wonder what a “thriving business” really means. Well, to be completely honest, I don’t know how you define thriving, but I do it in my own way. A thriving business is one is profitable, supports my family, keeps a roof over our heads, and allows us to chase our…

I’m sure I’m going to get a few people that say I’m paranoid or a little crazy and I’m OK with that. It’s true, I keep my money in a variety of bank accounts for a number of reasons. I wanted to explain why I do it and why I think it should be a…
I’m going to be the first to admit that I work too much. For years I have been hustling and grinding in order to achieve success. How did I measure success? Money! It seems cliche, but I’ve attributed success with having money. For too many years, I thought having flashy things made me a success,…
What if I told you there could be some proven methods to save you money each month? How much money? Well,the average is a little over $1,800 each month. That’s right, just shy of $2,000 of money you could be saving by just doing these things. Now, the basis of the savings is two fold….
The other day I was having lunch with my friend Vanessa who recently rejoined the workforce after staying home to raise her kids for the last two and a half years. She actually wasn’t planning on working again until the kids were old enough to enter kindergarten, but not everything went according to their plan….
Who hasn’t heard the saying “the early bird gets the worm?” It’s been one I’ve heard over and over again my entire life.
