The decision to become a one car family took nearly 2 years to make. My husband travels a lot and has a company vehicle for traveling, so for me it was nice to have a back up in case mine didn’t start (it’s happened on several occasions). Just having an extra vehicle parked at the house made me feel a bit more secure when he was gone. When I traveled to teach classes or for speaking engagements it was great {Read More}

If you’re looking to make a little extra cash this Christmas, take advantage of opportunities to sell some items while other people are looking for bargains. Set aside 15 minutes to look around your home for unused items or items that no longer give you joy. Perhaps there are items your kids will soon outgrow. If so, it’s best to sell these items now while people are still looking. In 3 months the buyer pool will be significantly smaller, making {Read More}

This post was originally published on August 10, 2010. Don’t laugh yet, but this week’s money making tip is to watch your step for spare change. Since moving to Tyler we have picked up so much spare change that I think I’m going to start including it in my money made section of the weekly review. Our family has picked up $.53 in the last 3 days alone! (I know you’re thinking- big whoop!- But truly, it is-keep reading) Just {Read More}
Are you Searching for Extra Spending Money on Swagbucks?

Last month I cashed in for $20 worth of Amazon gift cards on Swagbucks. This is the easiest online moneymaker I’ve ever participated in. Simply search from their site instead of google and randomly earn swagbucks. You can redeem them for Paypal, Amazon GC, Target GCs, Walmart GCs and many more! I downloaded the swagbucks toolbar so my search box at the top right of my brower is automatically set to swagbucks. This means that the only thing extra I {Read More}

I love to play games. We don’t get much time for it these day, but one of our favorite things to do after we get the kids to bed is play Wizard’s Spell (a variation of Text Twist) on GSN.com (Game Show Network) I’ve got several others that I like to play, but that is one that we can play together. GSN has popular games like Deal or No Deal, Bejeweled, Straws (like the old pipe dream game), Mahjohngg & {Read More}

I love the Register Rewards program that we currently enjoy at Walgreens, but it does come with some headaches. Back in the day when the Easy Saver Rebate program was in full swing I loved it as well. Although it’s rebates instead of coupons, the ESR (Easy Saver Rebate) program has a lot of great perks. All rebates can be submitted on one form, in one envelope (if you’re mailing), and will be received in one check (or gift card) {Read More}
