  • We just got back from a camping trip and it was so much fun. I had internet shut off and spent time thinking about a lot of things. ⁣ ⁣⁣ For years I’ve wanted to create content on living a vegan lifestyle (on a budget). I made this lifestyle change 5 years ago and have learned so much since then and truly believe I can help others who want to make the change or incorporate more plant-based options. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I always thought I had to do things in my business a certain way and stick to the main topics to appeal to a large audience, but I don’t think that anymore.⁣ ⁣ P.S. Camping in a cabin is so much cozier than a tent or tipi. (Also, was anyone spelling it teepee their entire life?) 😂
  • It wasn’t until a couple years ago until I really became good at managing my money. I used to make things complicated and try to be a perfectionist. I do things a bit differently now and managing my money has never been easier.⁣ ⁣ Here’s what I recommend to manage your money (without getting overwhelmed):⁣ ⁣ Budget > Set a realistic budget and check in with your budget 2-3x a week. I do this to make sure I’m on track with spending and it keeps my finances running smoothly.⁣ ⁣ Save > Set up automatic transfers to go into your savings. Once you budget, you’ll figure out how much money you have left over to put into savings. If you don’t have any money leftover, now is the time to find out how you can cut expenses and/or make extra money.⁣ ⁣ Invest > Set up automatic transfers to go into your IRA. I personally have a 401(k) and IRA that I contribute to in Vanguard. I do it on a set schedule. If you’re lost on investing, I recommend reading Broke Millennials’s Takes On Investing and Work Optional. Both are fun, light reads that aren’t stuffy or boring. ⁣ ⁣ ✨ You can get free printables on budgeting, saving money, and more at the link in my bio.
  • Boyfriend finished school yesterday and graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science and a Professional Certificate in Cyber Security! We decided to go on a hike that we haven’t been on since we first met 5 years ago. To say we are happy that this chapter is over is an understatement 😂 It’s funny because we had this plan that he’d already have a job in the field and we’d be settling into our new spot, but with over 34 million jobs lost in the U.S., no one is really hiring. BUT, this is giving us time to enjoy the outdoors, each other, and family.
  • The About Me post was such a hit that I decided to do a money version. I know there are people my age that have hit six-figures net worth, but to me, saving this much money is a big deal. Getting to the current place I’m at with my relationship with money and my savings is huge for me, especially since just 3 years ago I was in the negative and couldn’t save money if my life depended on it. In other exciting news, my boyfriend graduates from uni this week and we start his debt pay off journey. He has consumer debt and student loans. We’ve applied to 450 jobs in his field but with millions of jobs lost, most people aren’t hiring to begin with. We’re hoping things go back to somewhat normal soon... for now, he has a job and we are so thankful for that. How are you doing? P.S. My net worth does not include my car or assets.
  • I recently shared the reason why I gave up the fitness part of my blog and it inspired me to do a little fun facts post here. Do we have anything in common? 🌸 It’s been a productive Sunday and beautiful weekend! My boyfriend has ONE WEEK LEFT OF SCHOOL. Guys. When I started dating my boyfriend, he was in school. I’m so proud of him! I’ll finally get to see my boyfriend on a regular basis 😂
  • I turn 27 today on April 27th 🌺 Woke up to fresh flowers and cake from JD! Being 26 was so amazing. Every year is truly better than the last. I can’t wait to see what I learn in year 27!
  • Scams! They’re out in full force especially with COVID-19. Over $13.4 million has been lost due to COVID-19 frauds in the U.S. ⁣ ⁣ The FTC says this: “If you’re getting calls, emails, or texts, or seeing ads or offers online, keep this in mind, 1. The government will never call out of the blue asking for money or personal information. 2. Anyone who tells you to pay by Western Union or Money Gram, or putting money on a gift card IS a scammer. The government and legit businesses will never tell you to pay that way.” ⁣ ⁣ I just published a new post all about scams. Swipe left to see a few quick tips to use to make sure you never become a victim. And share this!!! After writing this post and doing all this research on scams, I can’t believe how much money is lost to fraud. There NEEDS to be more awareness around scams.
  • Who else is planning to visit family when all this is over? 🙋🏻‍♀️ I want to visit my mom, my sister and brother-in-law, boyfriend’s family, and take the boyfriend and dogs on some kind of celebratory graduation trip, maybe to a cabin in the mountains nearby. I miss family so much and this COVID-19 stuff has made me realize I take precious time for granted. I also really miss TJ Maxx. Lol.
