194. What a normal money week looks like at my house

"But what if my week doesn't go according to plan?"
Honestly, that's pretty much me every week.  We shuffle things around, we move money from one budget category to another, and we move on.  
Today I'm sharing what our money looked like last week.  What went well and what busted the budget.  
Because I want you to know it almost never turns out perfectly according to plan,  even for someone who's been doing this for a while like me.

193. 5 things I've stopped spending money on that I don't miss at all

If you're in a money saving season, same! 
We're trying to save where we can so we can continue spending on the things that matter most to us.  
So for today's episode I thought I'd share a handful of things we've given up spending money on that we really don't miss at all.  Maybe these will be things you'll want to give up or maybe it will just inspire you to come up with your own list of things you can cut back on for a season.
Spoiler... it's not coffee that I'm giving up :)
