Yay! Before you freak out the title I hope it got your attention. Don’t worry I’m not in any dangers.
I have to save we are back in the green and back at being able to save money and not worry about paying bills and then breaking the bank and going into the red. I do have to yell at my husband when we have money for him to not go crazy and buy things. But we are in a safe spot!
I can pick and choice when to put a little money a side and drop into a saving apps or into are piggy bank at home. Yes a piggy bank or if you find change when I find change even outside I try to put into our self bank at home.

For us it will be another month before we are that secure. It feels good when we are. Congrats.

Yes, we had some money put away but had to use it months ago.

My son told me the other day, "Dad, you're always broke." No, son, I'm not broke. I just choose to put my money into places where we won't touch it to spend on frivolous things. I put it in places that are going to benefit us long into the future.
I'm slowly trying to teach him about saving and investing for the future. He likes to spend money as fast as he earns it.

Stocks are good not you have to watch what you choice. When tax season comes we are doing a CD and we have an empty water battle the big ones that we can fill. You can’t get money of it without breaking it.

@ShyBear88 I'm very diversified in my approach to investing. I've got my money in stocks, mutual funds, traditional IRA, Roth IRA, 401/k, real estate and more. Plus, I'll have a lifelong pension once I retire from my current employer.

@ShyBear88 That's smart. It's really important that we set up our loved ones to be financially secure if something should happen to us. I've made sure that both of my kids and my ex-wife would be well taken care of if something happened to me.

A piggy bank is an effective way to keep your money safe in addition to building it up. As long as your husband doesn't break the bank to go on another spending spree, lol.

He won’t be breaking a physics bank. He wants to use his big water bottle because the hold is big enough for money to go through but not big enough for hands without taking the plastic top all the way off.
