Welcome to my life and finance blog! I’ve created this as a place to talk about all things fun, and all things budgeting and investing – one of the greatest skills that doesn’t get taught in most schools.

I don’t want this to end up being one of those blogs that encourages you to drop everything desirable in life to save, save, save. I’m over here still trying to live my best life! 

I’m hoping this will be the gateway to show you that you’re able to be financially disciplined, but still enjoy the journey.

I plan to take you inside of my personal budgeting and investing strategies, sharing with you my own struggles, successes, and joys in life along the way. 

When I started this whole journey it was about 12 years ago – living paycheck to paycheck, accruing a pile of credit card debt (over $20k to be exact!) wondering how I was going to put food on the table.

I’ve got a ton of stories and a million mistakes I’ve made along the way. I’m far from perfect so if that’s what you’re expecting to get out of this, you can stop now.

Once I started implementing some financial discipline in my life I was able to save a 6 month emergency fund, only have debt that provides me with passive income (real estate) and be able to enjoy my life to the fullest, kids in tow.

I don’t want you to get the wrong idea – my journey is far from over! There’s much more for me to do to retire early (my main goal!) 

I hope to grow and learn with all of you along the way and I look forward to sharing my progress and letting you get a glimpse inside the crazy life of a mama of 3.
