TGI freakin’ F!!! I’ve never done one of these posts before, but I really like reading them on other blogs.. Here I share my favorite things from this week. This week has been a doozy, but there have been plenty of silver linings to this cloudy and rainy week.. I’m trying to focus on that. Limping to the finish line over here!! How to Raise an Adult:. I’ve only recently…
[wysija_form id=”1″] You know how I’m super preachy here on Basic Britt when it comes to finances? I am very sorry about that…. I screwed up, and am working to recover. Over on The Budget Girl, I’m guest posting about how I’m pulling myself out of my more-than-little budget oversight, so hop on over! Link can be found HERE. Thanks to Ashley for allowing me to guest post! It was…
[wysija_form id=”1″] My friends are really cool. When I approached Aaron and Mary about the possibility of doing a guest post on the topic of student loans, I knew it would be good, but I didn’t know it would be THIS good. Very little is talked about with student loans… I remember my friends in college who were there on loans often had a very blasé attitude about spending money…
[wysija_form id=”1″] I kind to hate to admit this, but for well over a year, I have been toying with the idea of getting a cleaning lady twice a month. While it’s not super expensive, in the spirit of my prioritization rules (which you can read about HERE) , I decided it made more sense for me to spend that money on upcoming trips rather than hire someone to clean…
[wysija_form id=”1″] Happy Wednesday! I’m guest posting today over at Stephanie Malcom’s Life In A Small Town, so hop on over! I talk about affording what you want without putting yourself in to debt! It’s all about priority, so be sure to check it out!
[wysija_form id=”1″] This post is from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. I get it.. What she’s suggesting is something a large portion of the human race will be completely uncomfortable with. There’s a huge stigma attached. But, after learning about this phenomenon, I have to admit that my curiosity has been piqued. Without further adieu, on to our guest poster… Dumpster diving. I distinctly remember my dad telling me…
This won’t be much of a post today, other than to say that I’m spending the remembering the Ultimate Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. I encourage you all to think and pray about what this means for you today. Wishing you all a blessed Good Friday, and Happy Easter. More to come on Monday!
[wysija_form id=”1″] Welcome back to my series on “What I Wish I Knew When I was 22.” The first installment can be found HERE. These are some financial tips that I wish I took to heart as a much younger age. I wish I could scream this advice from the rooftops, or perhaps mention them if I’m ever invited back as commencement speaker ;). Without further adieu, let’s just jump…
[wysija_form id=”1″] This first list is how to find friends. I’ll post again next week on maintaining friendships. I recently read an absolutely fascinating book called Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging, which explores the question as to why people are happier living in a community that depends on one another. It goes through historical and anthropological theories as to why people thrive being a “we” more than being an “I.”…
[wysija_form id=”1″] Now that college seniors are looking ahead to the next big step when it comes the wonderful world of professional life, I thought I’d do a little list of all the things I wish I knew when I was wide-eyed and thought that my $30,000 salary was the end of the rainbow finance-wise. I did SO many financially stupid things in my 20s, and wish I could go…
