Welcome to the World of Saving Money

Welcome to my blog where I want to explore the art of saving money. We live in a bad economy. About a week ago, my girlfriend was laid off from her job and now it is my job to be the sole financial provider of our household. My girlfriend was laid off from her amazing job as Store Manager for a local grocery store.

The girlfriend has already been approved for the maximum amount of unemployment she can get, which is a total of $275 a week. Isn't that barbaric? Isn't that completely ridiculous?

It is completely possible to be able to live comfortably, have enough money for food and pay rent with our new circumstances. And I am going to show you how to save as much money as possible.

My short term goal is to save at least $400 by the middle October 2014. Even though my girl doesn't have a job, we have planned to go to Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando, Fl. this year. I really want to make this happen. I hope you find helpful hints and tips to help you save money as well.

Happy Savings,

Melissa
