I am breaking my $50/month entertainment budget to get the special 2fer tickets to Disneyland. For $66, you get admission (on 2 separate days) to Disneyland and to California Adventure.
If you are a Disney fan like I am and you live in Southern California (or Northern Baja California), definitely check out this deal. It’s probably [...]

So about this clothing hiatus that is saving me C.A.S.H…
I want out! I don’t know what it is (Spring shoe fever? Single Ma blames the weather) but all of a sudden I’ve been bitten by the I-want-new-shoes bug.
Here are the shoes I’d like if the Shoe Fairy suddenly showed up with her magic wand (made [...]

I am so, so excited about the movie that’s coming out in May. Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda - you ladies have been missed! (By the way, I love the photo below - head-to-toe black is always NYC chic, but don’t they look gorgeous in color?)
It’d be hard to pin down my favorite moments… but [...]

I remember when I got my first dividend a year or so ago… I think it was for $36.–
Now, I just took a quick look at my investment summary, and apparently I’ve received $166.35 in dividends for 2007 and $70.06 for year-to-date 2008.
So.. not life-changing amounts. I don’t even notice them much because I automatically [...]

It’s been over a year since I did a hair post, so… lo and behold, the hair post of 2008!
Inspired by a comment from reader Stacy:
One thing that I discovered was eating up a chunk of money is my hair. I tallied up how many times I got my hair cut and highlighted last [...]

I’m keeping a countdown ’til Friday!
And so the cycle continues.
I’m almost out of my shampoo & conditioner - that makes me very excited because it means that I can finally buy new ones. I also can’t wait ’til I’m done with all my lotions (at this point, it’ll take me YEARS to go through them), [...]

I’m silently jumping up and down for joy.
Today, I am going to go to work. I am going to eat one (or two) delicious Trader Joe’s tamales ($1.99 for pack of two). Heat ‘em up real nice and imagine you are in a restaurant. Seriously - they are that good.
After work, I’m picking up CB [...]

This money story is of Beachgirl, a long-time pf blogger who is “living the American Dream” and “paying off some debts in order to do it.” Here she tells us how she did it.
I’m 27, live in the DC-metro area, and work as a consultant. I was lucky in that my mom taught me starting [...]

Is it just me, or can retirement experts really be downers?
So this book tells me that a million is not enough. This calculator ups it a notch and tells me what is enough: $4 million. Okay, well, I can save and save and count on the stock market to get me there, right? Not so [...]

It’s now the middle of March, and I still haven’t bought any clothing, shoes, or accessories since the end of December 2007.
Which means I made it through after-Christmas sales, New Year’s Day sales, Holiday Clearance sales, and now am in the process of resisting Spring sales.
Which means, I really, really want to buy something!!
I stopped [...]
