So how just how difficult is to be frugal? And is there a simple formula for adopting a frugal lifestyle? While some may argue that it’s complicated and that they’ve already tried; being frugal is more than just saving money.

I will be the first person to admit that sometimes when it comes to money and personal finances, I am a bit clueless. Especially in my younger years when I was just starting out and looking at all of the enticing credit card offers. However, I was also very lucky that my mom used to be a vice president at a bank and that she has a solid background in money management. If not for her, then I’m sure I would have made more than a few common financial mistakes. I’m incredibly fortunate that I do not have a large amount of debt to work off because I could have very easily fallen into that trap. But what are these common financial mistakes that people…

I’ll start doing recaps for Fear the Walking Dead which returns in August of next year. Anyway, I wanted to share with you my ultimate The Walking Dead Gift Guide. In case you have a rabid The Walking Dead fan in your life- or if you are that rabid The Walking Dead fan….

I try to keep good financial records, especially as I prepare for the end of the year when I want to calculate my finances (earnings and expenses) for my taxes. Is it a fun process? Absolutely not. But it does pay off, at least from an organizational stand point, to keep track of everything related to the blog. If I should venture further into working at home, which I plan to next year, I’ll up my game a bit when it comes to keeping track of finances. But, even if I’m incredibly prepared (or at least as prepared as possible) a tax audit could still be a possibility. Sure, it’s never happened to me but that doesn’t mean that it couldn’t happen to me in…
