Weekly Roundup
I started the week talking about the importance of a quarterly review by highlighting my 8 year old son's recent review. Then on Wednesday, I was excited to participate in the Financial Literacy Awareness Carnival hosted by Shannon from The Heavy Purse. In honor of my birthday (which is today) I shared some fun facts about me and then I also shared one of my favorite "A-ha" dinners because with one ingredient you can make two yummy dishes. I really enjoyed reading a number of people's "A-ha" money moments and decided for my roundup this week that I would highlight my five favorites.My favorite "A-ha's" of the week
- Of course I have to include Mackenzie from The Random Path when the blog title is "Nobody puts baby in a corner," but seriously, she shared a great lesson learned through a painful time.
- Laurie at The Frugal Farmer is always so honest about her financial journey and this post is not exception. I definitely relate to so much of her path.
- Dee from Color Me Frugal shared a great example of how compound interest helps you achieve your financial goals faster.
- Brian from Luke 1428 shared a great story of resisting temptation and sticking to goals.
- Tonya at Budget and the Beach said it perfectly, "Financial awareness is not a destination...it's a journey!"
