StitcherIn a time where indulgence in impulsive buying and consumerism is being equated with self-care, practicing frugality is harder than one may think. Frugality fosters a mindset and lifestyle of creativity, advocating for intentional spending. In this episode, Jen and Jill talk about how frugality encourages one to unleash their creativity in budgeting and saving with Miranda Anderson.
It's about deciding that what you have is enough rather than deciding that it isn't.

- Spring break! Schools close down and students, TURN UP! Our lovely city of St. Pete is the prime destination for the college kids, but all you families with kids just trying to enjoy a fun break it’s good to remember not to merge the babies with the drunken twenty-somethings. Something else that’s good to remember is your old 401(k)!
If you ever left a job, it’s highly likely you left behind a retirement investment account just sittin’ there. Let Capitalize help you find any old 401(k) and roll it over into an IRA of your choice.

Thank you, Friends, for offering this No Spend January. I noticed that my debits in my checking account go mostly to bills (utilities, mortgage) and less to Kroger and Aldi. Win! I also noticed that I generate less trash waste and less recycling waste. Lastly, I made 3 big new-to-me meals using food I had in my freezer and pantry. I am doing a No Spend February now. Thanks again for all you do.
