    At home we are encouraged to live within our means even during our younger days. It has become part of our lifestyle, and each time we have excess money, we automatically save it – no questions ask 🙂
    Today’s kids must learn it. Thanks for making me think about the importance of getting a college savings plan

    Great tips and advice. Starting small in savings is a good idea. When you feel comfortable with $10.00. boost it to $15.00. A great way to get into the habit of saving. Plus I am sure I can use that to get the college plan for the kids

    I do really great with planning my meals, but then when I have something on the menu that takes a little time that I don’t have I find myself running through a drivethru. it would help my waistline and my financial fitness to meal prep.
