The Buzz Around the Web #14

by Caton November 28, 2014 ~ 4 Comments

Happy Black Friday! I hope you had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving. I am most definitely not shopping anywhere today because I want no part of the long lines or traffic madness. I don’t have patience for that. I will tell you two other “holidays” I’m on board with: Small Business Saturday and Giving Tuesday. […]

The Buzz Around the Web #13

Hi everyone! Another week has flown by. Can you believe it? We’ve had another bout of sleep deprivation over here. I’m sure everyone is tired of hearing about it, haha. Basically, my kids have been sick. It’s always something with these two! Needless to say, hubs and I have been walking around like zombies. I […]

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 […]

The Buzz Around the Web #12

Two weekends ago I volunteered at the New York City marathon. It was a really great experience and something I was glad to be a part of. It’s a huge event that takes an unfathomable level of coordination to pull off. Many volunteers seemed to be a part of the running community in some way, […]

Moving to Grenada: Our Story

by Caton November 12, 2014 ~ 11 Comments

I recently received an e-mail from a reader who asked if I enjoyed living abroad. I responded and told him that I did. It was a complete life changing experience to live in Grenada, West Indies for three years. I will forever be changed because of my time there. I learned so much about myself, […]

Hi everyone! I hope you’ve had a great week. Mine was incredibly busy, and it’s a big goal of mine to really slow down around the holidays. This time of year, there are always tons of new recipes going around, festivities, and fun travel stories. Many people take the opportunity of being off of work […]

The Buzz Around the Web #10

Happy Halloween and happy Nevada Day! My favorite state is 150 years old today! This is my first Halloween in the US in a few years. Before that I was on the road for work and before that I was in college. I’m looking forward to handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, which may or may […]

Natalie’s Favorites: Grenada

If you’ve been following our blog for a while you might know that Cat and I met on a tiny island in the Caribbean. Although I write more about my recent move to New York, I lived in Grenada just shy of three years. I really loved it there, and I’ll miss it more and […]

The Buzz Around the Web #9

by Caton October 24, 2014 ~ 4 Comments

My twins turned 7 months old yesterday, and this whole entire year has been a blur. I honestly can’t believe that 2014 is coming to a close so quickly. As they get older, I think more and more about how I want them to love traveling like my husband and I do. Even more than […]

The Buzz Around the Web #8

by Caton October 17, 2014 ~ 1 Comment

I’ve seen several great travel posts over the last couple weeks, especially a few Italy guides over at Guten Blog Y’all that have made me nostalgic for my study abroad days. I’ll always want to return to Italy, but there are a ton of places that still need to be crossed off my list. I […]

Bees Finance Rules

HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE GUIDELINES THAT WILL HELP YOU BUILD WEALTH:  

PAY OFF HIGH INTEREST DEBT: DON’T CARRY A BALANCE ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS

TAKE WHAT UNCLE SAM GIVES YOU: MAXIMIZE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO TAX ADVANTAGED RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

DON’T PROCRASTINATE: WEALTH TAKES TIME TO ACCUMULATE, SO DON’T WAIT

SAVE, INVEST AND REINVEST: LET COMPOUNDING WORK FOR YOU. SAVE YOUR MONEY, THEN INVEST AND REINVEST IT

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

HAVE AN EMERGENCY FUND: IF YOU CAN’T SAVE 6 MONTHS OF EXPENSES, GET AT LEAST $1,000 SAVED UP

OWN: OWNING ASSETS IS GENERALLY TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. GET AS MANY AS YOU REASONABLY CAN

IF YOU ARE MARRIED, BUILD YOUR PARTNERSHIP: HAVING A STRONG MARRIAGE CAN BE AN EXCELLENT ACCELERATOR. WORK ON YOUR MARRIAGE AND CARE FOR YOUR SPOUSE.
