Did you earn any additional income this month?
Congrats on continuing to save in August. That’ s great. We have been working on changing our budget recently so we can save more each month. September is a trial run though. Once we see how we do then we will implement something a bit more permanently.
Thanks Miss T.
Budget transitions can sometimes be a bit tricky, hope your goes smoothly. I really need to make some changes to ours as well.
Great job! It always amazes me to see all the things you save money on. Keep up the good work – you are great motivation for me to try harder to be frual (I think I do alright at it too, so that’s saying something. 😉 )
Thanks 20’s Finances.
I’ve been slacking a bit with my online earnings as well as ways to save money. Little by little though, it all adds up.
