I have a piece of paper on my desk with notes all over it. A few weeks ago, I randomly began contemplating the idea of starting a blog about ways I've found to save money while not feeling as though I'm depriving myself of the things I enjoy. I quickly dismissed the idea as I figured I'd start the blog, then quickly run out of motivation or topics to discuss. To prove it, I began to write down the topic ideas that were top of mind. I had three.
I kept the note on my desk. Randomly, an idea would pop in my head and I'd write it down. Before I realized it, the note paper was full and the ideas were still flowing. The more I wrote, the more excited I was about sharing my thoughts with others.
We'll see how long the motivation lasts. We'll see if anyone reads this. In the meantime, I'll have fun documenting something about which I'm passionate.
With this blog, I intend to share some tips and tricks I've found to live a more frugal life. I simply intend to share small changes you can make every day that will add up to big dollars over the long term. My personal philosophy is that I look to save money so that I have more to spend on the things that matter most to me.
This isn't a blog about how to live on $1,000 a year. It's not about how much to budget or what you need to save to retire at 35. I am not a financial expert or a life coach. My approach will not work for everyone. Take the tips you want and apply them and disregard the things that aren't for you. And always feel free to leave a comment with your feedback and your personal tips on living a more frugal life.
