Those of us with chronic illness realize just how expensive illness can be. Whether you are on disability assistance, private insurance or just trying to pay for your medical costs out of pocket, spring months can be a bit depressing when it comes to finances. Taxes may be due and all those medical deductibles keep adding up. This week I am featuring a book I love by someone I am honored to call a friend, Ellie Kay. You may have seen Ellie on Inside Edition or ABC News Good Money. When she married her husband she became a military wife, having 5 babies in 7 years and moving 11 times in 13 years.

I love the little thrill of clipping out the coupon for an item I would have purchased even without the coupon. But it can actually be even a little more exciting to find printable coupons online that you wouldn't have had otherwise. We found another site to add to you money-saving bookmarks: smartsource.com & then enter your zipcode. Another tips is look up your favorite local stores on Facebook or Twitter or ask them if they have a site that offers coupons. Lately I've noticed nearly every little store I go into from Smoothie King to the movies has a Facebook account for that LOCAL shop with coupons just for local customers! And while you are clipping coupons, if you see a big ticket item with a great coupon, clip it & as you are … [Read more...]

When you live with a chronic illness your house can get so dreary. We are often there--at home--looking at the same old knick knacks day after day, watching those dust bunnies grow into adulthood (oh, I'm sorry, maybe that is just at my house!) Well, either way, summer is just around the corner & maybe you are looking around wondering how you could cheer the place up. Or maybe you have kids that are out of school & they are bored & need a project. Here is a cool little tool we found!

When I was young appliances were made to last a lot longer. When it broke, you called the repairman. Now day, however, it is sometimes more financially smart to recycle the old one & purchase a new one. Though the costs involved may not be welcome in our monthly budget, paying 40% of the appliances value & having it last just a few more months, may not be the best choice either. So how do you know when to fix it & when to start shopping? With more energy efficient appliances as well as rebates, it can be hard to know which way to go some times. A website by Dan O'Neill, Appliance411.com can help you decide. The web site has a lot of well-organized information even if you have to dig a bit. And most of it worth reading at some point … [Read more...]
