Improve your family’s finances starting today–

We are a real couple knowing first-hand the pain and struggles of financial despair and not seeing a way out.  We’ve been there and know those struggles – yet through simple strategies we share on our site, we found our way out and started the rest of our journey.  We started this site to give others the tools and resources we didn’t have years ago – principles we used while in the heart of our debt and still use today after paying off over $100K in consumer debt as they are truly universal in achieving your every financial goal.

There are two parts to this picture – First, how a family can come together and focus on solid financial principles to work towards becoming good stewards in every area of life.  And second, that through healthy living and working towards that harmonious home that healthy, balanced living will lead to healthier finances and a healthy, happy family.  Our hope and prayer is that as we relate our story that you will share yours with us.  We continue to share our experience we’ve learned along the way while hearing and learning from yours.  And that together we can all grow together – come grow with us!

Finally, don’t miss our new coupon corner–

Do you currently use coupons? Or have you been wanting to try or even use them better? Well you have come to the right place! Our Couponing Corner!

You see, we’ve been using coupons for many years. In fact, we used so many and it became such an integral part of our lives that we would have probably been considered one of those Extreme Couponers (even though there are many untrue things about the real show) before the phrase even existed. We love coupons and have tons of fun and see loads of savings with them.

BUT….the last couple of years, we have changed that way we use coupons. Coupons no longer control our lives, control our time, control our spending nor do they control our diet either!

After several years of being avid couponers, we realized that we were buying unnecessarily to grab a good deal and our pantry was filled with things that we either wouldn’t eat or that we shouldn’t eat!

Well, since then, we have wisend up in this area too and approach coupon usage as a supplement and tool to save extra – when and where it makes sense and when and where it works for us! And we still love those coupons, we just have a different attitude now!

With that bit of our coupon history, we invite you to use coupons as a supplement to save more by using them when and where it makes sense for your family! Coupons become a joy and fun and no longer a burden on your lives or your diet when you approach them this way!
