Habits are hard to change because usually many of the things we do each day kind of run on autopilot. You don't have to put much thought or effort into your

Decluttering can sometimes feel overwhelming if we have let ourselves accumulate more than we really want or need. Certain times of life can get busy and we put things like decluttering aside. When we think about decluttering we might envision a big project that we don't have time for. Decluttering is important because it can really help reduce stress in your life. When we have too many things, it's difficult to keep up with managing and caring for it all. It can also be difficult to organize what you do have and to find things when you need them. We often put off decluttering because we think it will take too much time. We can wait until we have a big chunk of time to devote to decluttering. As you know this may take a long time to happen, if ever! Or we can find little bits of time and declutter as we live our lives. So, like with many things we talk about, something is better than nothing. It will make a big impact in your life to do a little bit of decluttering during the regular course of your life than waiting until you have time to empty and sort through an entire closet.

The most important part of being able to stick to your vacation budget is to start with a detailed budget.  If you have not created a vacation budget previously, your first one will most likely have some things missed, but you will get better each time you do it.  I always make notes while on vacation of things I forgot to budget or didn't budget enough for so that I can update my budget file for our next trip.  Each time we go on vacation our budget is that much better because I have improved it based on info from our past trip.  I know there are some people out there that will think sticking to a budget on vacation is a form of deprivation.  I strongly disagree with that.  Some of the most stressful times in my life regarding finances have been while on vacation spending money that I had no idea if we even had.  Knowing that I would be returning after the vacation trying to figure out how to recover from what we just did.  Having money set aside for a vacation and a plan on how you will spend it makes a huge difference in the way it feels to be on vacation.  Having a detailed budget is going to give you the most success in being able to stick to it. You will notice that many of these tips seem to focus more on planning your vacation than on making sure you spend what you anticipated while on your actual vacation.  That is because in my experience the best way to stick to your vacation budget is to do a lot of research and planning beforehand.  If you go on vacation without a game plan, unless it's a very low-cost location, you will very likely end up exceeding the amount your thought you would spend on your trip.

A budget is a plan which can guide you through managing your income, expenses, and other assets. However, if we want a budget to be helpful to us, it is so important to realize that a budget must be flexible. If you go into a budget with the expectation that everything will go exactly to plan, more likely than not you will be very disappointed or discouraged. Of course, we want to be as accurate and thoughtful as we can be when creating our budgets. But, it is important to realize it is very likely that things will come up that we did not anticipate. When that occurs, you do not want to toss the budget aside and say that it didn’t work. Budgets need to be adjusted and updated as things happen. Modifying your budget is a very important part of managing your money. It allows you the opportunity to best handle unexpected situations that may come up in relation to your finances. Today I am going to share some tips for building some flexibility in your budget.

For most of us, cooking is something we have to do most days if not every day. Even if it's something we enjoy doing, it still helps to make things a little bit easier sometimes. Especially on those busy nights, our energy can be drained by the time we have to start cooking dinner. So, taking a few little steps to make it easier on ourselves can make a big difference. When cooking is too complicated or tiring, we can end up deciding to just order in. While that is fine once in a while, most of us do not want to do that on a regular basis. It costs a lot more, it's not usually as healthy, and it can lead to food waste due to food not getting cooked that we purchased for meals we planned to make. Today I am going to share some tips that have helped me simplify cooking every night.
