Money Moves Month End – February 2024
Guess who’s out of hibernation? While I can barely go outside without a sweater, I can at least say hi to you all! I’m still around and I’ll provide a bit of an explanation for my absence. The great news is, I’m not injured, nor sinking my money into an unfortunate cause. While I was Continue reading

Money Moves Month End – December 2023
Hi and hello! I’m super proud to say that I managed to make it through 2023 with all of the off the wall things that happened. I’d so love to embrace 2024 without any abandon, but I’m entering the new year cautiously. Funny thing though…there were two more instances that 2023 had to show me it Continue reading

Hi All! It’s been MONTHS since I’ve been around but I’m still alive!!! I tell ya…your toilet leaking and flooding your house can really throw things off. Greatest of great news!

Money Moves Monday – October Week 3
Hello! At this point, I’m just coasting through October as best as I can. I didn’t have too bad of a weekend. More sleep would’ve been super nice but beggars can’t be choosy…even when they took two days off work at the end of the week that consisted of getting things together for their home. Continue reading

Money Moves Monday – October Week 2
For some odd reason…the universe likes to play cruel tricks on me. Things went great with my debt this week but it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t share how my weekend went. Friday, I decided on a whim to do sign up for a conference for makeup. It was discounted and I figured…why not? Continue reading

Budget Close Out & August Paycheck 2
Things are going smooth so far and I’m on guard. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop because I’ve run into so many issues. I just remembered that in October I’ll have to tell my financial advisor (yes, I have a financial advisor) that I paid over $6k for medical care, bought a new Continue reading

It’s been a nice long weekend and I’m so excited to get into this week because I have a beach trip coming up on Friday and a nice long week off from work. This past weekend I decided to not hurt myself again. I rested on Friday evening, hung out with a friend for her Continue reading

Money Moves Month End – July
So! I’m oh so lucky because official debt freedom will be postponed by a little over a year, hence, the header. My ice cream fell out of the cone and then onto a surface that’s not edible. I get to rant just a little longer on my blog and that actually excites me in a Continue reading

About Me
I’m a licensed esthetician and free lance makeup artist that has a full-time career at a local credit union in Raleigh, NC. Personal finance has become my second love next to makeup, as well as an unhealthy addiction to Excel. The plan is to be debt-free by late August 2024. New posts will be available between Monday and Thursday at 6 AM. To watch my debt balances go up or down, check my Money Moves Monday/Month-End posts. 😊
