I’m fifty years old, married almost 25 years, with four sons of various ages ranging from all grown up to still-working-on-it. ? an illustration I did for one of my son’s books. This is a butcher board table my husband and sons made when we were living in a rental with very little useful counter space.

My degree is in mechanical engineering, but I’m just starting a transition to nursing – before I got pregnant with my son, I was working as a nursing assistant while my husband finished grad school, and planning to go on to nursing school. Biking with my kids Most folks find this absolutely bananas. Eat at grocery stores!

Saving Everyday

OCTOBER 27, 2023

You won’t find things like “start a YouTube channel or blog” in this post. My son has been doing this for about a year now and averages a few hundred dollars a week. Take an honest look at your spending, and you’ll likely find areas you can improve. We spend about $600 a month on groceries.
