How many e-mails do you get a day from companies promoting ongoing or upcoming sales and specials? I’m talking about the e-mails that hit your inbox because you subscribed to them. Now how many times have you purchased items you weren’t intending to purchase because you received one of these e-mails? My guess is more than you have…See More

Choose to Just Say No!

While it’s not new news, the lawsuit against McDonald’s and their Happy Meals is still making headlines. Here’s the thing, I get it, McDonald’s is not the healthiest food choice and they try to entice kids to then beg their parents to bring them so they can get some toy. However, last I checked I had the CHOICE to not eat there. And I…See More

Food....A Four Letter Word

Last week I touched on how to save (or really spend less) on “stuff”. One of the biggest budget busters for people is food, so I think it’s worth discussing some ways to keep those costs minimized as well. You have to eat, I’m not going to deny you that, so how can we…See More

Don’t Pay Full Price

I recently had a client ask if I had any “how to save” advice to help her adjust to her new lifestyle of taking control of her money and where it goes. The best advice I could offer was “Don’t pay full price for anything...ever”. I’ll let grocery items be the exception to this rule for now. My philosophy is if “stuff” isn’t on sale, I don’t need it. And just because it’s on sale doesn’t mean I need it…See More

Automate It

A lot of us live our lives on autopilot. Wake up, get dressed, drink coffee (if you have young kids like me, lots of coffee), head to work, do the daily grind, come home, dinner, TV, bed. I’m not necessarily encouraging this as a lifestyle, but lets face it, we as Americans are pulled towards routine. Are you applying that auto pilot mentality to your personal finances? If not, why not? It allows you to…See More

The Season of Giving

Last week I touched on trying to change the American mentality frombeing consumers of things to becoming consumers of experiences (aka life!). It’s also the time of year when people are often more cognizantof those less fortunate. With the economy still struggling, food banks, shelters, and other organizations that help those in our community are feeling the pinch. How does giving fit into your holiday…See More

Are You a Grinch?

I know, another Dr. Seuss reference and more talk about “stuff”. I can’t help it, tis theseason, and I warned you before about my love of Dr. Seuss. With BlackFriday and Cyber Monday behind us, can we focus on another aspect of theholidays for a bit? It is more than giving “stuff” to each other isn’tit? I know you get it, I don’t like clutter. Growing up we had anadvent chain. We’d open one link a day throughout…See More

Happy Planning!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend enjoying time with loved ones. While we’re busy thinking about all the things we have to be grateful for, it’s also a great time to review your goals and dreams for the upcoming year. I don’t just mean financial. Where are you in your life? Is this where you want to be? Are you healthy? Do you take time to take care of yourself? How about self…See More

The Super Target Effect

We live two miles from a Super Target. Not just any Super Target, but one of the top 30 in the Nation. Needless to say, they opened their doors in the right place. Target spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on market research, so of course they knew they were in the right place. My kids probably spent as much time wandering those aisles as they did playing at our house the first year of their…See More
