There are many creative ways to craft and save money , especially if you’re the type of person who only likes to spend money when you absolutely have to. Whether or not you spend money is always a cost-benefit analysis. You could cut your own hair, for instance, to slash your monthly outgoings, but you will inevitably pay for it in terms of your time (and the fact that you might not get the results you want).

Money and Savings
As a parent may not have time for yourself, while taking care of yourself & your family, let alone time to think about your money and savings.
I started this section of my blog, so I could provide a place on the web where parents can step up their money & savings hustle game while still caring for themselves.
When it comes to being a parent, quite often we worry more about others and our financial status, than ourselves. Sure, I'm going to talk about financials, organization, streamlining day to day activities and more. But, I'm also going to talk about the importance of self-care, mentally, emotionally and physically.
So if you're one of the parents out there who's trying to step up their hustle or you know a parent who is trying to. This is for you & them.
Be sure to also sign up for my weekly newsletter that will showcase posts, helpers and more.

5 Easy Ways To Stay Stress-Free While Moving

Money Saving Tips For Kids Heading Off to College
Several years ago I started college for the first time. I had to fill out all of my paperwork myself, since I was living on my own. Then I got pregnant with my oldest and had to drop out because I just wasn't financially prepared. I wish my parents would have financially prepared me for college and adulthood.
