What I Wouldn’t Do If I Were Rich

Guess who didn’t win last week’s $590.5 million Powerball jackpot? That’s right. I also didn’t win the subsequent jackpot worth a mere $20 million despite there being a zillion fewer people buying tickets. Because why play when the prize is only 20 million? Clearly, I don’t subscribe to that line of thinking, but I highly encourage the rest of the world to do so, as I need all the help I can get to bolster my odds of winning. I’m a working parent, after all. A very not rich mom who will likely die without ever being able to afford … Continue reading →

The Best Healthy Food on a Budget

Most of us are familiar with the Ramen every night diet. It isn’t a plan to lose weight, rather a plan to actually afford food, and it has been made famous by college students or anyone just starting out with only a limited budget. But the Ramen Noodle diet isn’t exactly a healthy one. The “meal” contains high levels of sodium and carbs and pretty much zero nutrients. Yes, it will fill you up for less, but it isn’t something you can use to feed a family and keep them all healthy. Another source of cheap food that people often … Continue reading →

Get Ready for 100 Pound Loser!

I want to tell you about an ebook coming out on January 1st.  I wage it will motivate you to lose those extra pounds.  My confidence is based on the author, Jessica Heights.  (Her name alone has a confident and famous ring to it, doesn’t it?). Jessica is the author of the blog, Muthering Heights.  She is also a bloggy friend that I hold dear.  We share a quirky introvert thing. Well as much as introverts can share (actually introverts form deep friendships once they get over the initial human contact awkwardness).  At any rate, Jessica has a new ebook … Continue reading →

Get Into the Holiday Spirit Without Breaking the Bank

Last Friday, a Christmas tree lot opened up across the street from our church. Who buys a Christmas tree a week before Thanksgiving? It was much easier to denounce the premature holiday madness in October when Wal-Mart and Target were selling Christmas wreaths next to the Halloween candy, but now that Thanksgiving is just a few days away, I suppose it’s time to make merry. One of the cheapest ways to get into the holiday spirit is to hit the road and soak in the spectacular Christmas light displays… that you didn’t have to erect. Some of the nation’s most … Continue reading →

Seasonal Fun for Families on a Budget

What family doesn’t enjoy spending quality time in the great outdoors soaking up the fantastic fall weather? Most of us would love to explore the far reaches of the country during this most magnificent time of the year, but not all of us have the financial resources to do so in a grand way. Luckily, you don’t have to be rich to enjoy the wealth of natural gems offered this time of year. Instead of dropping hundreds of dollars on a family getaway, consider sticking closer to home and attending free local fall-themed festivals, such as: California: Fortuna’s annual Apple … Continue reading →

Rich Parent Problems

“My other car is a Lamborghini. Just like this one.” That’s one bumper sticker you’ll never see on my vehicle. After all, it’d look pretty silly on the back of my bike. Just as I don’t have time to turn turkey bones into chandeliers, I simply don’t have the income to drop $50,000 to have my kid attend a fancy schmancy kindergarten. However, this is not a problem for some of the world’s most affluent parents. Forking over 50 grand so their child can be surrounded by other rich kids and learn Mandarin in a highly-integrated community equipped with the … Continue reading →

Deals from Outback, Michaels, Target, and More!

Today, I’ve found some deals that are only going to last for a limited amount of time, as well as some sales that are going on for the usual amount of time. It can be exciting to find a deal that pops up, out of nowhere, that you have to use that same day. It’s also nice to find sales that you don’t have to rush to. This blog has a little bit of both for you. Outback Steakhouse posted on their Twitter page today an offer that is good for today, only. Go to Outback Steakhouse today, and mention … Continue reading →
