Yesterday, I shared on Get Rich Slowly about how Greg and I plan to pay for the majority of our children’s college education. In case you don’t want to read the whole post, I’ll share the gist of here: Basically, we’re saving small amounts monthly and lumping all of their birthday and Christmas money into their respective…
It’s the end of August, and you know what that means- it is almost time for Fall. To me, that means breaking out the jeans and hoodies, tolerating a bunch of pumpkin-flavored crap, and enjoying a short break without having to use the air conditioning and heat. In the Midwest, it also means enjoying beautiful weather that is nearly perfect…
It’s Monday morning as I write this, and I am chugging as much coffee as I can get down. We got back from our cruise yesterday afternoon and I spent the better part of the evening catching up on laundry, bills, and mail. I woke up this morning exhausted. I mean, I literally cannot think…
I am currently on my way home from vacation. In my absence, please enjoy this post from Kayla from Shoeaholicnomore.com. Kayla is a mid-20s single girl living in the Midwest, USA. She is focused on paying off her consumer and student loans, while simplifying her life and closet. You can join her on her journey at…
It’s been a fun summer in the Johnson household, and I’m extremely sad that it is coming to an end. I love fall and everything, but I absolutely hate winter. I once thought it was weird that old people migrated south during the winter months, but now I totally get it. Winter sucks, and old…

I get a lot of banking offers in the mail. Unfortunately, most of them want me to set up some sort of direct deposit, which is almost impossible for us since we have to have direct deposit at our current bank (Chase) in order to qualify for free checking. I could, of course, switch banks…
It’s been a long and awful week at the Club Thrifty household already, which is pretty strange since it is only Wednesday. What can I say? I’m burnt out, I’m tired, and I’m counting on our upcoming cruise to melt my troubles away. With that being said, I thought it would be fun to keep…
My daughter started kindergarten last week and we’re still getting settled into our new routine. Before school started, everyone was out the door at 7:30 and I didn’t pick everyone up until 5:15. Now Greg takes Vivian to daycare at around 7:30 and Lydia stays behind to catch the bus at 8:15. And instead of me picking…
