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...

I started last year and I used to be a hoarder really bad and I am always worried that I am going to slip back into old habits with this. Does anyone else have that issue or is it just me? I only use apps so I don't have to lug...

DW Davis @fatragu I will admit we do make great use of our affiliate cards at grocery stores and gas stations. I saved 25 cents a gallon at Sheetz the other day filling up my truck. When you're buying 20+ gallons of gas at a time, 25 cents/gallon adds up.

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...
