Personal finance has always been a big interest of mine, and if I were ever to go back to school and get a degree in something totally unrelated to my first field (English/Education), I would totally go into finance. Over the years, I’ve included a lot of tips I’ve picked up about saving money and …
It’s now been almost a month since I totally relaunched this blog space, giving it an all-new name and look. As I mentioned in my blog relaunch post, I’ve been wanting to upgrade my blog for years, and now that it’s finally happened, I find that I’m more motivated to blog than ever before. However, …
