How to Build and Maintain a Well Stocked Pantry and Freezer

Published August 31, 2020 Updated February 19, 2021 3 Comments

$1000 Savings Challenge

Published July 20, 2020 Leave a Comment

These past couple months have reminded me of the importance of savings. It is important to have money in savings - all the time. You may not have 20 savings accounts like my husband and I do, but you need to have at least one savings account. Having money in savings allows you to plan and prepare for future purposes and expenses and goals. I also believe everyone should have an emergency fund with 3 to 6 months of expenses. An emergency fund is that special savings account that gives you peace of mind since you always have access to some money when an unexpected emergency … Read More...
