Since I’ve become more diligent with budgeting and saving money, I’ve been much more creative with how I spend my hard-earned cash.

I don’t know about you, but Valentine’s Day is always a stressful time for me. How can I make this year special, especially with all of the holidays, birthdays and events I’ve shared with my wife over the past year? Well, Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be expensive to be memorable. If you’re tight on money this year, but have …

We’ve already talked about financial questions you should answer before getting married. We felt this burning question deserved its own blog post because everyone seems to have a different opinion when talking about sharing a checking account with their husband or wife. Is it better to have a joint checking account, or should you have separate finances? It’s not really …
Student debt is a really touchy subject—even for me. I remember my first year of college. I was fresh out of high school, had a small part-time job at a pizza place, and I had these really big ideas for changing the world and being a billionaire thanks to my college education!

That sounds like something Dr. Evil would say, but this isn’t a joke. We’re in a crisis. Student debt is currently growing at a rate of almost $3,000 per second. So what does that look …
When I was younger, I’d save up my allowance until the next trip to our local thrift store.
