[wysija_form id=”1″] HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Friends. We all need them. We love them. Sometimes they drive us crazy. But, for better or worse, they are an essential part of our lives, not only when we’re young, but even more so as adults. In the last post in this series, I spoke of ways to find friends. I know I’m biased, but I believe the #1 way to find friends is through faith-based…
[wysija_form id=”1″] People often have very stringent rules about how they tip in restaurants, and I am one of them. Growing up in the restaurant business, I know that servers depend on tips. It’s not just supplemental income, it IS their income. However, like any job, one has to earn their income, right? I used to spend my summers working with management at some of my family’s more “resort-y” restaurants…
[wysija_form id=”1″] I’m going to just start off with a disclaimer: These are NOT “get rich quick” solutions. Making money takes work. Why in tarnation we’ve come away from this idea is beyond me. Are there plenty of people out there who earn thousands in passive income? Sure, but I would bet that the passive income came after months, if not years, of nose-to-the-grindstone work. Even people who are in…
TGI freakin’ F!!! I’ve never done one of these posts before, but I really like reading them on other blogs.. Here I share my favorite things from this week. This week has been a doozy, but there have been plenty of silver linings to this cloudy and rainy week.. I’m trying to focus on that. Limping to the finish line over here!! How to Raise an Adult:. I’ve only recently…
[wysija_form id=”1″] You know how I’m super preachy here on Basic Britt when it comes to finances? I am very sorry about that…. I screwed up, and am working to recover. Over on The Budget Girl, I’m guest posting about how I’m pulling myself out of my more-than-little budget oversight, so hop on over! Link can be found HERE. Thanks to Ashley for allowing me to guest post! It was…
[wysija_form id=”1″] My friends are really cool. When I approached Aaron and Mary about the possibility of doing a guest post on the topic of student loans, I knew it would be good, but I didn’t know it would be THIS good. Very little is talked about with student loans… I remember my friends in college who were there on loans often had a very blasé attitude about spending money…
[wysija_form id=”1″] I kind to hate to admit this, but for well over a year, I have been toying with the idea of getting a cleaning lady twice a month. While it’s not super expensive, in the spirit of my prioritization rules (which you can read about HERE) , I decided it made more sense for me to spend that money on upcoming trips rather than hire someone to clean…
[wysija_form id=”1″] Happy Wednesday! I’m guest posting today over at Stephanie Malcom’s Life In A Small Town, so hop on over! I talk about affording what you want without putting yourself in to debt! It’s all about priority, so be sure to check it out!
[wysija_form id=”1″] This post is from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. I get it.. What she’s suggesting is something a large portion of the human race will be completely uncomfortable with. There’s a huge stigma attached. But, after learning about this phenomenon, I have to admit that my curiosity has been piqued. Without further adieu, on to our guest poster… Dumpster diving. I distinctly remember my dad telling me…
This won’t be much of a post today, other than to say that I’m spending the remembering the Ultimate Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. I encourage you all to think and pray about what this means for you today. Wishing you all a blessed Good Friday, and Happy Easter. More to come on Monday!
