Living the good life on a budget.
As we’re a third of the way through the No Spend May challenge, I thought I should do an update of our spends and how I’m finding the challenge so far. I am pleased I decided to do this challenge, as it has refreshed my mind when it comes to finances, and have made me…
It’s Monday which means it’s meal plan time! Our plans have changed slightly again; we’re doing a combination of low carb and healthier eating. We’ve got quite a bit in the cupboards which isn’t low carb but I don’t want it to just sit there so I’m going to do a bit of both so…
Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you’re having a lovely day, whatever you are doing. This week has seen the change in routine that’s been looming for ages; I returned to work. I’ll be honest, I had built it up to be something terrible, but once I was at work and getting back into the swing of…
Keep Track of Your Finances with a CPA Financial planning can be stressful, especially when tax season rolls around. If you’re uncertain about tax laws, or don’t want to waste your time crunching numbers, you should consider finding a CPA. An experienced accountant can help you with everything from tax preparation to bookkeeping, and they…
It’s my favourite time of the month again – time to do an update on the Ultimate Dream Fund. The Ultimate Dream Fund is named because it is our dream to retire early, and we need the funds to make that happen! One day, this fund will provide us with the money to live on when…
If you’ve read any of my monthly reviews recently, or looked at my progress with the Ultimate Dream Fund, you will see that I’m quite a bit off track at the moment. We all start off things with the best of intentions but life can sometimes get in the way of our goals, and we…
Hello May! I cannot believe that it is May already; I head back to work on Tuesday and the new “normal” for our household begins. Luckily, I am only working three days a week so I have plenty of time to spend with our gorgeous boy. We don’t have much planned for May as it’ll…
I cannot believe that April is over! I knew that this month would go quickly, as it’s the last four weeks I had off with the Frugal Baby, but it has gone by so fast, it’s passed in a blink of an eye. I have truly loved and appreciated my time at home and April has been…
One of my 2016 goals is to continue to declutter our home and to live with less. I think that as a society, we often overbuy when we don’t need to own as much as we think we do. I am working on removing items from our home that we don’t need, whether that be…
It’s Monday which means it’s meal plan time! I must apologise for the lack of posts over the past week; the Frugal Baby has got a horrendous cold and cough which means that he’s really been struggling. His cough has been keeping him awake at night as it’s worse when he’s lying down, which means that…
