Honeymoon Savings Goal Update: February
Our honeymoon is getting awfully close. I set a goal starting last September to raise $2500 for our honeymoon with taking as little money as possible out of paychecks to do so (instead using bank offers, rebates, side income, etc.)…and as of last month we were at $1670. In other words…another $830 still to save! [...]

How to Not Save for a Downpayment

Saving by Spending Money
I once had a science teacher who told me that if you save 10% of everything you earn over a lifetime, you will be a millionaire. The thought used to boggle my mind.
