Growing up, I had one of the best financial teachers anyone could have: my mother. Her running mantra was (and still is!): “I don’t buy anything unless it’s on sale and I have a coupon as well.” That definitely worked for her, as she was able be a stay at home mom for 24 years and raise our family. I got to see firsthand how she and my dad handled money. I learned most of my frugal tips from my mother.

In January of 2008, I decided I was going to start my own money blog. I had been working in the financial industry for over three years, and thought I had a good grasp on the concept of money. Every day I see firsthand how people manage their money. Many of my clients come to me for advice on how to save more money. My friends come to me for money advice. As I was looking over a credit report at work one day, it hit me. I was going to start a blog that would offer different ideas on how to save more money, make a little money online, and pay off debt and not get back into it again. I’m also tracking my own debt here so I can hold myself accountable for getting it paid off, and share a little more of my personal finances.

Currently I am an office manager of a large Midwest bank.  I enjoy working with clients on opening accounts, creating loans, and problem solving.  Sometimes I play teller when the need arises.
