4 Ways to Get Money, Fast*
When I was a kid I never thought for a second that by nearly 30 I’d still be budgeting my money. In fact I think I budget more than ever. I like to take LM on adventures rather than buy material possessions and for that I have to live to a financial line every month. I need to earn enough to pay all my bills and put away enough to afford our adventures. Some months I do it, some months something happens and I’m frantically trying to make some more money in that last week of the month. Being self employed is hard, and it requires a lot of strength,…

Doing Walt Disney World (& Orlando) on a Budget
As I mentioned in my shake up post the other day, I’m going to try and only blog about things that I genuinely want to share and spend time promoting. This morning I woke up and wanted to write a post on doing an Disney World holiday on a budget. I think one of my reasons for feeling so lost after coming back off holiday was not having a trip to plan.
