Buy or Not to Buy

Have you ever found a book on Amazon that you really think sounds good, but the reviews of it aren’t stellar so you’re not sure if you should waste your money on it? That’s where I’m at right now! This book, MWF Seeking BFF: My Yearlong Search for a New Best Friend, has caught my eye! Sounds about right, yes?

Speaking of best friends, I finally got to speak to mine on Skype this morning!

First I ate my breakfast of almond butter, strawberry jam, ground flax, and banana on wheat toast with a side of skim milk and a mug of hot chai green tea! It was exactly what my stomach felt like and I am so glad I added a mug of tea. It kept me from crawling back into bed to warm up!

Using Mint.com

Mint brings all your financial accounts
together online or on your mobile device,
automatically categorizes your transactions,
lets you set budgets and helps you achieve
your savings goals.

Since moving to the Seattle area, I’ve found that I need to bring in the reins on my spending by setting up a budget to keep me in line! I always used Mint.com back in Montana, but now I find it even more helpful than before with the various bank accounts I have now and the lack of extra cash. No more excessive spending on awesome and unique jars of gourmet peanut butter!!

That said I really wanted to show you all how amazing this easy and free service is!
