E-Mail List Update
If you’ve been a subscriber of Budget Smart Girl since 2005 you probably signed up via Feedburner and receive posts via their delivery system. After the end of the month (April), this service will no longer be available which means you’ll no longer receive notifications and posts of anything that appears on the site. I do have the subscriber list and I’m hoping to import them to the system I now use which is Mailchimp via the Popup Builder but as you know techy stuff isn’t always easy for Ms. Non-Techy here so if you still want to continue receiving posts and notifications can you use the PopUp builder on…

Buy Now to Protect Your Purchasing Power?
Inflation, hyperinflation, deflation which one is going to be? I listen to lots of economic podcasts and the buzzwords are those three words above that all end in tion. No one economist or financial expert agrees which one is going to happen but all of them are in agreement, that it’s time to think about your financial future and if you’ll take a proactive stand against whichever one comes our way. Lots of people have been saying that food prices are going up, others say prices are the same but content is getting smaller. I’ve heard talk about building supplies going up by as much as 150%. Also think about…

It’s April. Three months behind us, nine more to go. What are you plans? Set any news goals? The end of one quarter and the beginning of the next is a great time to sit down and go through your list of things you want to achieve whether it’s losing weight or launching a business. Are you thinking about taking a class to learn a new skill maybe? You’ve heard me mention Skillshare many times. I’ve been teaching writing classes there for about four years.
