Saving money often means you are spending less — but did you know that you can also save money and protect the environment?
Many times, what is good for our wallets is also good for the environment. It all starts with the idea of consuming less and having less waste.
Here are some simple strategies you can use to save money and reduce your environmental impact.
Whether we like it or not, tax season is upon us again. While it might not be on the top of your priority list right now, that April 15th deadline is creeping closer and closer.
Don’t wait until the last minute to get your taxes done. At the very least you should prep them for filing so you have a good idea if you’ll be getting a refund or have to pay a balance.
Waiting until the last minute to complete everything is not only stressful, but it also leaves more room for error. Any small mistake can cost you, whether in the form of an audit or a smaller refund.
Getting your taxes done (and done right) can take a while. If you haven’t already, it’s a good idea to start now.
Here is a checklist of what you need so you can make doing your taxes as painless as possible.
As a parent, you may be concerned about whether or not your child is becoming spoiled. In this increasingly materialistic and instant-gratification society, it’s difficult to teach our kids the importance of patience and a good work ethic.
Nowadays, many nine year olds have cell phones, while years ago I would have been thrilled with a new cassette player at that age! So how can you teach your children to be responsible and savvy adults?

Side hustling, or the art of making money on the side, is one of my favorite things to do. Even now, as my side hustle has turned into my full-time job, I’m always looking for new ways to make money. I find it a fun challenge and it keeps me on my toes — and it’s never boring!
While many people in personal finance focus on cutting back, I believe earning more can be a more powerful motivator in helping you achieve your financial goals.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the average American family spends about 19 percent of its income on transportation. Which makes transportation is the second-largest household expense (following housing).
Of course, whether or not you are “average” depends in large part on where you live, and what the expected transportation costs are in that area. A more expensive area means you spend more for everything from gas to car insurance, boosting your costs even higher.
