Reusable Products that Us Save Money
A very important thing to learn when trying to save money is that investing in better quality products will save money in the long run.

Setting Up a Zero-Based Budget
If you have never used a zero-based budget before, think of it as telling every dollar you have where it will go for the month.

3 Things you Must Discuss to Reach your Budget Goals Together
Dave and I sat down together for a few minutes this week to discuss our budget. We have often talked briefly about our spending limits each month and called it a “budget meeting”.
