Money Moves Month End – August
We made it through the entire month of August and I never even told y’all how it’s went…so I figured I would before it got too late. I also owe a post surrounding my paycheck but I’m in full-blown renovation mode at my house, my apologies for my silence. I did spend an ungodly amount Continue reading

Money Moves Monday – August Week 5
I wanted to make sure to get this post out before Tuesday happens and poof…nothing. So! Let’s talk a bit about what’s happened over the past week! For one…vacation was still crazy crazy crazy busy. I had two trips to the pool, one to the beach, and out of all the days I’ve been off 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

Budget Close Out & August Paycheck 1
So we made it to the month of August somehow. I don’t know how this happened. I don’t know when it happened. Half of the year is all the way gone and time keeps moving on. Since we have no choice in the matter, let’s get this budget business out of the way. 😊 So 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

Money Moves Monday – August Week 1
I had to choose this header to have Benjamin Franklin’s judgy eyes stare back at me but anyhow…I’m late posting again!!!! So I had to whip something together really quick because I have my own personal deadlines and THEN my internet went out last night. Not just last night, ALL of last night from around Continue reading

Money Moves Monday – July Week 3
Long post alert! It’s Monday again! While this sounds like excitement, it’s only excitement to an extent. I have a major announcement to make a little later on that will more than likely derail everything. For now, this weekend I have been licking my wounds. For the past several years, I’ve had one thing after Continue reading

Money Moves Monday – July Week 2
Happy Monday everyone! I had quite the week last week. A really great thing that happened this weekend is I caught up with someone who was a coworker when I first started working at the company I work for. We were both Tellers at the same time and I didn’t get my license until I Continue reading

Budget Close Out & July Paycheck 1
Okay! We’ve made around another paycheck sun…is that a thing? I’ll call it a thing…why not. My finances revolve around my paychecks.

Money Moves Monday – July Week 1
Happy belated 4th of July! Have I got updates for you all! So! Number one, I’m super late on 3M because…I was out doing stuff that people with two working feet do! Walking? Nope…but standing yes. I had the opportunity to make sure I still had my skills and I did makeup on Saturday! A Continue reading

Budget Close Out & June Paycheck 2
This seemed to work out pretty well last time so I figured I’d present this information the same as I did last pay period. Of course, I’m late posting again. It’s been slightly crazy because sleep isn’t something that comes easily for me. I go to sleep and am losing close to an hour of 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. 😊
