As I’m writing this, I’m looking at the TV that I mounted myself in my bedroom… that is currently broken, and serves more as a clothes hanger than anything else. I had taken down the TV from its mount for something and when I tried putting it back on, it fell a drop, and I […]
Budget-Friendly Home Improvements: When to DIY and When to Hire Professionals
I love to DIY. Not only is it a terrific money saver, it gives such a feeling of accomplishment when finished. I built my son’s bedroom myself (I know, I still never posted a final post about it; I plan on doing it in the very near future) but I knew that there would be […]
How to Hire an Event Photographer on a Budget: Tips for Parents and Families

Our Frugal Georgia Trip, Day 2: Batumi, Las Vegas of the Black Sea
On the second day of our Georgia trip, in Batumi, not surprisingly, we had a pretty late start. We only got up at 10:30 and had to get to the tour we signed up for by 11:45; we were supposed to get there ten minutes early, we had a 5 minute walk to our car, […]

Just picture it. You save up money to take a cruise for that special occasion of yours, maybe a big birthday or other milestone, and you book the cruise… and then you realize that you didn’t factor in the price of shore excursions. Cruises aren’t just boat rides; you want to do things at the […]

My Son’s Frugal NYC Touring- Days 2 and 3
Traveling! I can’t wait to do it since life is currently too complicated for that, but in the meantime, I am having fun writing up about and sharing information about my 17 year old son, Lee’s, frugal trip to the US and England this past summer. I already posted about what my son did on […]
4 Orthodontic Issues Your Child Might Experience
Orthodontics… It’s something that people short on cash often really dread, because orthodonture is far from cheap. In some cases, like mine, it was either orthodonture or likely need to get dentures by the time I was 30, because of how bad my mouth was. My father’s cousin Marty had overlapping roots so badly that […]
