The False Choices That Steal Our Future - Frugalwoods

http://www.frugalwoods.com/2015/07/29/the-false-choices-that-steal-our-future

Financial independence and simple living. The False Choices That Steal Our Future. By Mrs. Frugalwoods. Middot; July 29, 2015. I’ve been reflecting quite a bit lately on the various facets of my life that go against the grain. In many ways, I disagree with the fundamental notions of what our culture says ‘the good life’ is all about. Whether it’s my disavowal of the theory that all new parents want (and should buy) only brand-new baby things. Or my negation of the pressures society levies on women. That ...

The Power of Small Steps: How to Start When Starting Feels Impossible - Unsettle

http://unsettle.org/small-steps

The Power of Small Steps: How to Start When Starting Feels Impossible. It was summertime in the early 1970s. A laundry worker who was barely earning enough money to feed his family had an idea for a story. After letting the idea stew in his head for awhile, the man wrote three pages of the story. Unimpressed by his own efforts, he crumpled the pages and decided not to continue writing it. That man is Stephen King, and the novel is Carrie. Well, because King started where he was. Getting his idea on paper.

You Work Too Hard Not To Care • Money After Graduation

http://www.moneyaftergraduation.com/2015/08/04/you-work-too-hard

You Work Too Hard Not To Care. August 4th, 2015. You work at least 40 hours per week, possibly more. You likely spend an additional 15 hours or more commuting. As a result, you probably work more than you do anything else: more than you sleep, more than you cook and eat, more than you watch TV. This is your life. And you are compensated for all of this this time and effort with your pay. So why then are there so many people that don’t give a shit about their money? Stop buying so much stuff so often.

Financial independence and simple living. Perfection Is The Enemy Of Frugality. By Mrs. Frugalwoods. Middot; July 13, 2015. I’m not perfect. Far from it, my friends. And frugal weirdos.

Budgeting for Real Life - The Wallet Diet

http://www.thewalletdiet.com/budgeting-for-real-life

Budgeting for Real Life. I don’t have a budget in the traditional sense that I bucket set amounts for different categories. I’ve tried that route before and it was not for me. My idea of budgeting is to have one big retainer every month for all of my discretionary spending. And pay for everything out of that one lump sum. Whether it’s clothing, a gift, or going out for dinner, all of my disposable income comes out of this retainer. Are you strict with your budget? August 5, 2015. You Might Also Like.
