  • March Hosting Recap

    I’ve decided to start tracking my income via hosting on Airbnb. I knew I was making money, but didn’t know how much!

  • Would You Lend a Friend Some Money?

    There’s a lot of chatter on this subject going on in the blogosphere lately. So… would you do it? If a friend or family member asked to borrow some money from you, how would you handle it? If it was $20? $200? $2000? My thinking is that it really depends on exactly who you are […]

  • No Spend Days!

    There is a PF blogger that I really admire, Canadian Saver over at Saving4Later. She’s really good at keeping track of her daily expenses, budgeting and instituting No Spend and No Driving days. I’ve been trying to incorporate a few of her methods into my own life recently, especially as I try to frantically save […]

  • Woo! Las Vegas!
