What is that one space in your home that no matter how hard you try seems to always be messy? Is it the kitchen table? That one cushion on the couch? Is it the table by the door? Mine is my room. My work desk is messy but I can...

Quilter I told my kids so long as they have a clear path to the fire exits of their room I don't care what it looks like. My youngest puts all sorts of stuff on her walls. She found a "Live, Laugh, Lobotomy" thing she wants to put in the living room.

I believe there are two kinds of people in this world. There are Spenders and Savers. Spenders have the urge or need to spend every penny that they come across. Savers have that same need or urge but it is to keep as much money...

Knowing what you know now, what would be your ideal starter home? Mine is a plex. I'd love a 6plex but a 4plex is fine. I will live in one and rent the others out. I see the benefits and disadvantages to living right next to my...

I am trying to build my credit score so I can eventually buy my first home. I am at 501 which is huge for me. A few years ago it was in the 300s. I am already using Self and Kickoff and a really crappy credit card. Does anyone...

My check actually went further than it normally does because I had overtime on it. I got everything that had to be paid this paycheck paid and have my remaining envelopes in order of importance. In September I get one of those...

My 4th was good. Pretty much just stayed home so I couldn't go spend any money. We had 2 storms with a lull in between so that was good for everyone blowing fireworks. On the 3rd we went and watched one show and the next town...

Quilter I like this. I was doing this but then kept having to dip into it to pay bills. Right now I'm not making enough to fully fund my budget so I'm trying to find a part time job that I can do 2-3 days a week.

Quilter It's the dopamine. We get a hit of dopamine when we go to the casino, buy a lottery ticket, spend money on stuff, etc. We're all depressed people just chasing our next high. The trick is deciding what that high will be. As soon as I get all but my student...

Quilter @AmbiePam I've got a friend who lives on disability and is in a bad situation but her family is unable to help and she is unable to live on her own with what she gets for her payment. Our plan has been, for years, that when my kids are all out of the house...

Quilter Part of the reason why I am working so hard on getting my finances in order is my psych team was adamant that I apply for disability. I fought them and told them that Disability will say No and we agreed to file to see who was right. I won that argument....

Last month I was not able to pay all of my bills because I didn't make enough money. So this month is a no spend month. If it isn't a bill or envelope money doesn't get spent. I'm doing good so far. I've only spent $53 and that...

Quilter I hadn't heard of No Buy July. I think it is what I am doing but rhymes so it sounds better. I do these throughout the year to play catch up on some stuff so I just call it No Spend "Month"

I mentioned that I charge myself $1 for every soda that I drink. Doesn't matter if it is a bottle or a can. The only rule is I can't buy 2 liters, only 16oz bottles and 12oz cans. I have a container and every time I open a soda I...

Quilter Oh it is horrible for the body. But it is that or energy drinks and soda is cheaper. I was just using caffeine pills but they are even worse.

Quilter Thankfully with working at home I can get up and walk around and come back if I need to. If I'm tired on a call a lot of times I will stand up and sit down repeatedly and stretch.

Quilter I pretty much just do Dollar General and Family Dollar. Walgreens, Target, CVS, are all 40 minutes away from me. If you have tik tok you should search "Dollar General (or other store) couponing" on Fridays. The creators that do the coupons will break it down,...

Quilter Oh, I remember when we all had to have a binder we took with us. Now it is so much easier since it is all on the store app and you just plug your phone number in at the register. I still remember going and buying 78 jars of spaghetti sauce because I had a $1...

Quilter My goal is to get to an income where I don't have to coupon. That way I can just donate everything that I coupon to a Domestic Violence shelter.
