Hi Y’all, Today’s tip is all about adding extra money to help out your savings. I do this primarily through survey websites. I personally have accounts with Swagbucks, Inbox Dollars, and Survey Junkie. I haven’t been part of Inbox Dollars or Survey Junkie to tell you how much I earn per month, but I typically earn enough SwagBucks for a $25 paypal gift card every month. (*Please note, that these are referral links and I will receive a small commission of the points you earn; however, I do not take points away from you, they credit it separately). I also suggest having ebates! While they pay out every quarter, I…

Hi Y’all, It’s that time of the year where teachers are hunting jobs for the next school year. Me included. I thought I would write a post about my job hunt experience. Find a teaching job is both easy and hard. Once you fill out an online profile for one district, chances are another district you’ll be applying to uses the same system.

Hi Y’all, I’m a pretty big fan of series, and since one of my goals has to become a saver, I thought I would start a series about it. Each Thursday I’ll have something about saving money! For this first one, it’s going to be about having a game plan. Everyone talks about how important planning is. Plus, I’ve noticed most of my “expenses” are impulse buys. For instance, I went to return things to the Lilly store, and instead of just returning I bought (granted, I did actually spend less than I was returning!). Please keep in mind, that I do not actually have any debt, I’m attempting to…
