The List: Fun goals to accomplish before 2011

by Karen on April 30, 2009

I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately. Just generally kind of blah. It’s taken me some time to figure out what could be causing it, especially since everything is going so well for us right now. I’ve always had a tendency to be preoccupied with the future. Instead of enjoying what I have […]

Comfort & complacency – frugality’s worst enemies

by Karen on April 29, 2009

A year ago, our situation was drastically different than it is today. Our savings was depleted after months of bringing in less than we needed to make ends meet. We had a little money in the bank, but not enough to sustain us for very long. We were living frugally out of necessity. Though our […]

Simplifying our banking system

by Karen on April 28, 2009

When Tony and I first combined our finances, we decided to open one joint account for the majority of our spending, bills, and other banking, and a personal account for each of us.

I’m trying my luck at herb gardening again

by Karen on April 25, 2009

I’ve tried herb gardening a couple times before, and the results were dismal. But I’ve never been a quitter, so I’m giving it another go. Last weekend, I picked up three herb plants from Lowes — sweet basil, thyme, and rosemary. At $3 each, they cost the same as fresh cut herbs at the grocery […]

by Karen on April 24, 2009

There really is nothing like spring in this part of the country. It’s been sunny and 75 degrees all week, and the weekend promises more sunshine and warm weather. I’m craving sunlight, so we’ll probably try to get out as much as we can this weekend. One of my Earth Day resolutions was to buy […]

Why I’m using credit cards again

by Karen on April 21, 2009

Tony and I have been credit card debt free since January of this year. But for the past couple of months, we’ve started using our cards again every month. Don’t worry, it’s not what you think. We still don’t carry a balance, and we probably never will again. But we also don’t want to leave […]
