Michele and I are budget manias.
Everyone might think we spent a bundle on the Yosemite trip but hardly.We deal here and there and managed to secure a very good vacation budget. We bought most of our food and stuck them into a cooler instead of eating out.
We're very smart with our money and Michele is on top of our budget. A dollar off and she will know about it.
We use a 3% credit card, and save money with an conservative interest producing account. In turn that increases our purchasing power by 8% every year.
People don't think about finances in that manner, but the little here and there makes a difference. Michele and I don't even have cable and guess what? We don't even miss it.
Yep, we can tell our kids the small stuff about finances will help them in the long run. Listen to mom kids...
