Planning A Frugal Wedding

Back in November 2017, something great happened. I finally tied the knot after over 5 years of living with Brandon. We’ve planned to marry for years and never got around to doing it. I have a complicated history with an abusive ex-husband and really wasn’t in any hurry to remarry. My ex-husband wanting to sign […]

That Time When My Own Money Saving Advice Failed

That Time When My Own Money Saving Advice Failed

Many people are surprised to find out that I am not a fan of the cash only method of spending. I rarely carry cash and when I do, I spend it. I am much more likely to hand over a $20 bill than swipe a card. That being said, this method became a slight annoyance […]

7 Ways to Stick to Your Grocery Budget

7 Ways to Stick to Your Grocery Budget

I used to have a much smaller grocery budget. Those were the days when I had the time to coupon hardcore. I was also single, in college, childless and had a much higher eating out budget. These days, I am not single, I have one child, hardly ever eat out and don’t have time to […]

That Time I Maxed out My Credit Cards and Didn’t Regret It

That Time I Maxed out My Credit Cards and Didn’t Regret It

Credit cards are evil. That’s what everyone says, right? I’ve even said it myself. I would hear about “those people” with thousands of dollars of credit card debt and immediately jump to the conclusion that they must not be good at managing their money.  Or, they were shopaholics, living far beyond their means.

Tried It: DIY Wool Dryer Balls

Tried It: DIY Wool Dryer Balls

(along with other things that we will discuss in the weeks to come). I thought that by […]

Hi! I’m Mary,

I blog about saving money, earning money and spending money from a low-income point of view.

I have yet to meet anyone in poverty who WANTS to be there. But, it's a fact of life for many.
