Reach Financial Independence

For the first time since 1997, the city of Paris is limiting car circulation to try to get rid of a big smog cloud that has been looming over the city for too long.

Do a back up When was the last time you did a backup? If you are hosted by Hostgator, they will do backups for you automatically, but if you ever need those restored, you have to pay a fee, while restoring the backup you did manually is free.

Good morning, over at Savvy Scot I will talk about teenage money, how to help without spoiling them. Click here to read more.. For the past 3 1/2 years, safe for very rare occasions when we would be on different continents for a few weeks, BF and I have lived, worked and traveled together, spending 24 hours a day in each other's company.

You want the best for your kids, and that is all in your honor. You want them to be spared from the world, to grow without worries about anything, while at the same time preparing them for the responsibilities they will have to face as adults.

Home improvement is a costly endeavor, almost any way you look at it. When it comes to remodeling and renovating your home, you are going to be spending thousands and thousands of dollars on contractors, specialists, and more.

Six years ago, I started writing for a travel blog. It was fascinating for me to even start thinking that a website would be interested in my travel experience, and as we went, and the money started flowing, to see that my writing could cover all my travel expenses to go on new holidays, and then some!

Good morning! Over at Savvy Scot I have friendly reminder that the tax year in the UK is coming to an end on April 5th, so you only have a few days left to use up your ISA allowance. Click here to read more..

We will be short and sweet today, with a friendly reminder that the tax year in the UK is coming to an end on April 5th, so you only have a few days left to use up your ISA allowance. What is an ISA?

If you are planning to visit the Philippines, now is a good time! March is the first summer month here until mid May. We have lots of white sand beaches, like the famous Boracay, a small island in the Philippines, well-known for its white sand, beautiful sunset and various water activities.

Welcome to the 9th blog income and stats recap of MMYW! Once again I am ashamed to admit that I spent very little time growing those blogs, although I did grow up the queue of posts a bit, I spent too little time promoting the content.

I have professed several times my hate of the corporate world, how I loathed the rat race, the petty office politics, the brown nosing and long hours just to show you are there... you get the idea. Actually, one of the jobs I have been most happy at was flipping burger at McD when I was a student.

I talked recently about how you should be time conscious when trying to save money, and not get into a two hours project that would only save you pennies. One of my examples was fixing stuff, and doing your own things in general instead of delegating.

Good morning this is a guest post from Richard Adams he is a UK-based frugality blogger. You can follow his experiments in saving money and reaching financial independence over at Frugality Magazine. Let me know if you would like to guest post on MMYW.

I am not a planner, more kind of a go with the flow person. But I love to travel, and stretch my hard earned cash further when I do. Which is why I always try to plan ahead for a holiday. No kids?

For those seeking to own a rental home, or a duplex, and rent it out to tenants as a source of extra income, there are plenty of questions to take into account. How much money do you spend purchasing a property? How much should you sink into fixing it up?

As I have lived in 5 countries and travelled to over 70, people often ask me "how do you deal with money?". Handling money is a bit different whether you are just travelling once or twice a year to a different country or living in one for extended periods of time, as an expat or retiring abroad.

Weddings are expensive, and not just for the bride and groom. As a guest, sure you are getting invited to an awesome party and to free food and booze, but all the rest is yours to pay and it can add up quickly.

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you had a lovely time to relax with your loved ones. Easter is quite a big deal in Guatemala, as the country still has strong Catholic roots. Usually the weather gets pretty hot and people call it "summer", before "winter" bring rain around May.

The following post comes from MyMoneyDesign.com, a personal finance blog that is all about making the most of your money and opportunities. It wasn't all that long ago that I made a simple observation. I was a young man just starting out my career as an engineer.

I love love love online grocery shopping and delivery. And those days, supermarket websites make it so easy for you to find your products and shop in just a few clicks. Think about it.

I have always cooked most meals from scratch, but in the early days, it was a bit harder, having a full time job and 2-3 freelancing jobs on top made it a bit complicated to be a master chef every night.

One of the main reason people say they won't cook from scratch is time. But even if you are busy, appliances like bread makers or slow cookers can help you eat healthy with minimum prep time, and that super fast bread recipe is also proof that it doesn't take much time to eat well.
