3 Ways to Haggle Politely

by Caton November 19, 2014 ~ 20 Comments

I absolutely love to haggle. In fact, one of my favorite memories of my European backpacking trip with my hubs (then boyfriend) was not seeing the Eiffel tower or taking in all the ruins in Rome but having a blast haggling in the markets of Florence. In Florence, they have rows and rows of little […]

Love new technology? Plan ahead to make upgrades easier

by Caton November 17, 2014 ~ 10 Comments

Are you a technophile? My husband certainly is. If we had unlimited money, everything from our home lights to our heating to our crockpot would be controlled by his cell phone. Both of our phones already act as remotes for our TV. He loves to learn about any and all new technology, which is quickly […]

SAVE AND INVEST AT LEAST 5 TO 10%: PUT ASIDE AT LEAST A MINIMUM SO YOU’RE STUCK WHEN YOU’RE AT RETIREMENT AGE
