Enough Already

 Hello Everyone and Happy 2024. As I am sure by now everyone has seen the ads by all their favorite blogs or pages that are talking about New Year's Challenges. Some of these are to save money, or learning to be more self sufficient .

 I have seen many that are Savings or Pay off Debt challenges. With the economy acting the way it is I can absolutely understand why tons of people are jumping on these.

I also want to save a significant amount of money this year because we have some big events happening.  But what do you do when you are living on a fixed income and don't have the opportunities to work an extra shift to make money? You need to start thinking outside of the usual box.

You will hear the usual things like :

*cut your expenses, 

*use coupons, 

*sell unused items from around the house 


and things like that. I have to agree that they are great ideas but sometimes you have to think outside the box. I am not a financial guru or anything like that. I am just an average woman, who is a Mom, a Grandmother, and a Wife trying to survive.

I will post my own weekly goals and show you how I made them happen. Perhaps this will help to guide you on your own journey.
