Saving Money in 2021

Vision Boards-What Will December 2021 Reveal?
Ever put together a vision board? I had what I call a makeshift one comprising of just a flimsy piece of cardboard for my writing and books.

Setting Goals and Planning
It’s December, did you achieve all you set out to do this year? 2020 has been a strange year. If it’s taught us one thing, it’s about planning and then if those plans don’t work out, having a back up one.

I’ve decided to make that the focus of Budget Smart Girl as we move into 2021. Ways to plan, set goals and have lots of alternative things you can turn to if the unexpected happens. In Thursday’s post, I’ll be…
