My Frugal Year » Frugal Friday http://www.myfrugalyear.com Saving Money One Day at a Time Wed, 20 Jul 2011 22:55:06 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 Day Sixteen http://www.myfrugalyear.com/2009/01/16/day-sixteen/ http://www.myfrugalyear.com/2009/01/16/day-sixteen/#comments Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:11:49 +0000 becca http://myfrugalyear.com/?p=94 Today was all about work. That’s good though because work = earning money! I’m extremely blessed to have a couple jobs I really enjoy. When I think about how many people are stuck in jobs they hate, I feel very lucky to have found things to do that keep me interested and looking forward to work. It’s also a good thing that this frugal living thing is fun for me. Sure, life can be financially stressful at times, but I’ve made it my mission to have a good time while looking for deals and making the most of every dollar that comes our way.

Tonight has been about homework. I’m in school – yes, at 40 I went back to school. I figured it would be best for me to finish college before my kids start. Being back in school has been great. I’m studying something I really like to do and I’ve had great experiences with my classmates and instructors…and it’s all online which means I can work it around my insane schedule.

Here’s my Frugal Friday tip for the day: Vicki has a theme for this Friday’s frugal tips - keeping kids busy when cabin fever sets in. Good timing considering the weather our friends to the North and East are having lately. I’d have to say the library is a great way. Always having something new around to read is a great thing, and on those cold winter days, there’s nothing better than curling up with some hot chocolate and a good, FREE, book from the library!

Well, that’s about it for today. I have a busy day tomorrow and I have GOT to get to sleep before 1:00AM for once!

Have a fun, frugal weekend everyone!
