Celebrating Your Thanksgiving Money Wins – Volume 25

November 25, 2019 by Penny 2 Comments
Celebrating Your Thanksgiving Money Wins

Thanksgiving is almost upon us. While the average American gets ready to spend just under $187 on Thanksgiving this year, I knew the personal finance community would have something to say about that. Namely, there are all sorts of ways to make your own Thanksgiving money wins. Maybe you’re hosting, maybe you’re traveling, or maybe … [Read more…]

Celebrating Your Halloween Money Wins

The average American intends to spend $162 on Halloween, according to a LendEDU 2019 survey. While we tend to think of most any holiday as costly, there are still plenty of ways to score money wins this Hallow’s Eve.

#FinCon19 & Celebrating Your Money Wins – Volume 22

September 18, 2019 by Penny 1 Comment
My #FinCon19 Official Pass

“But isn’t that a really expensive event for frugal people?” As someone who ended up buying multiple bottles of hotel gift shop almond milk during a previous FinCon (and winning a frugal blogging award there!), I can assure you that professional conferences can be expensive. Of course, it’s vital to remember that spending on ourselves … [Read more…]

Celebrating Your Money Wins – Volume 21

Summer Money Wins Carnival Fund

Summer might be winding down, but money wins are still going strong. As far as us personally, we are celebrating a huge debt payoff milestone, but the personal money win that I want to celebrate today is actually a lot less flashy.  My husband and I sat down and brainstormed some of the different things … [Read more…]

Celebrating Your Money Wins & A Plutus Nod – Volume 20

Money Wins Star Confetti Celebrate

In a wild turn of events, my blog was nominated for a Plutus Award again this year. I still can’t find the right words–or really any words–to do this nomination justice. I am beyond thrilled and totally shocked. via GIPHY It was a great reminder to me that there’s always room to celebrate in the … [Read more…]

Summer Money Wins Cheers with Fruity Drinks

There’s nothing sweeter than summertime, so I thought it was only fitting that we do some celebrating. Specifically, I wanted to put together a roundup of other people’s money wins in the personal finance community. Why? Because I am spending all of my dollars this summer, so we better ask other people for help here.  … [Read more…]

Celebraing Money Wins Volume 17

Drum roll, please. We…did not pay off our mortgage. But you already knew that for two reasons. My Twitter feed hasn’t been nonstop GIFs and this blog post is coherent (at least somewhat). I solemnly swear that the day we pay off our mortgage there will be so much celebrating in real life and online … [Read more…]

Money Wins Celebrate Winning with Money

The maturity date on my mortgage is 2042. 2042. 2 0 4 2. It’s a pretty depressing number if you let that fully sink in. My kid will be done with college. My teaching career will be coming to a close. My car will most assuredly fly a la The Jetsons. 2042 is a long … [Read more…]

Celebrating Money Wins – Volume 13

February 11, 2019 by Penny 14 Comments

If I’m being totally honest, I haven’t felt much like celebrating lately. What a way to start a post on money wins, huh? I think I lost the forest for the trees. Or the trees for the forest. Or money doesn’t grow on trees. Or something. Everything has just felt so financially ordinary lately. There … [Read more…]

Celebrating Your Money Wins – Volume 12

January 11, 2019 by Penny 8 Comments

Normally, this money wins series is all about celebrating small victories. In past editions, I’ve shouted from the blog rooftops about everything from reversed credit card fees to rounding up paycheck pennies for charitable causes. But you know what? It’s the start of a new year, and it’s time for some major motivation. We made … [Read more…]
