August 13, 2012

When I first started blogging about money almost 4 years ago, I used to think to myself, "if I could just pay off this personal loan, I would be soooo thrilled and feel soooo much better about my finances." Then I paid it off. Pretty much within 24 hours, I started thinking, ... Read more...

Savings Woes

March 28, 2012

My Financial Bucket List

November 23, 2011

I'm not a big believer in "signs" but I can't help but wonder if the personal finance world is trying to send me one - just after I wrote a post about struggling to define my big goals, Krystal at Give Me Back My Five Bucks announces a partnership with Life Insurance Finder to ... Read more...
