 As you know, I’ve been talking about my husband being in training. He graduates from training tomorrow. He may or may not have interviews tomorrow and the teachers at the training facility tell the group that they should all be working by no later than the second week of April. All this sounds vague . . . → Read More: The Waiting is the Hardest Part  I’m not sure if there’s a technical name for the issue I’m having. It’s the issue that makes me wish society were set up so we were all paid once a month and it happened on the same day all the bills were due so there was never this weird gap between getting paid . . . → Read More: Cash Flow Drama  This past week has really taught me that you can’t plan for anything. Of course, living in the moment is for teenagers and meditation. There needs to be a balance. Not just a work/life balance I hear people prattle on about, because really you’re either working or not working and we are all just . . . → Read More: What Goes Down…Sometimes Bounces  Not my actual tire. I did not intend to wait this long to do a finance update but life got so busy for a hot minute there! I started a new job on the 1st. It is not glamorous and it certainly does not pay well. That being said, it is a job (well, contract . . . → Read More: Debt and Unexpected Expenses (the Tire & Ticket edition) Okay, so I keep prattling on and on about the new gig I have. It’s low-paying, low-stress, and pretty easy. I do it from home and I don’t talk on the phone. I paid money for training and a background check up front with no promise of passing the certification and actually being able . . . → Read More: How to Cope with Job Stress (even if you’re a freelancer) I was writing a post in a forum and answering a question I had asked myself, “Jen, when did you first hear about Dave Ramsey?” Well self…um…well it was before I had all three kids. Did I have any kids? Where were all my kids? Did we have a dog? Which dog? Asking me . . . → Read More: Dave Ramsey, Gazelle Intensity, and Ignoring Warts  Sometimes I forget to keep count of things. My debt, how many days I’ve been primal, and other things jump to mind. Today I was reminded that this is the last week my two older girls are in summer camp. It’s a day camp I drive them to bright and early every . . . → Read More: Gas Money Budget (and my failure at being observant)  I ♥ My Pita Bread-baking 101 is not a class I’m getting an A in! I took the “Your First Loaf” recipe from The Fresh Loaf and gave it a whirl. My yeast did not activate which means the dough never got bigger and it never really turned into bread. I didn’t . . . → Read More: More Important to Learn than Get it Right (Baking Bread Edition) We had a big ol’ scheduling conflict this morning. I was supposed to go to a meeting for the Rally to End the War on Drugs this morning but Ran had a board meeting for the Chamber so I needed to bow out until next week’s meeting. I defaulted to work, because that’s how . . . → Read More: Chamber of Commerce vs. Not for Profit  I have been thinking of investing again (current holdings are three individual stocks and an IRA at Charles Schwab) and was trying to decide how to allocate my portfolio (that really makes it seem like I have a lot more money in the market than I do) – the main way I do this . . . → Read More: Investing is Like Betting Against the House |
