About Me

My photo
Hello! I am Bethany, a mom of 4 beautiful children, a owner of a dog, and married to a miner/hunter. (Camo is a popular color in our home). We recently relocated to the UP of Michigan from Juneau,Alaska...a huge adjustment. I have a passion for photography and documenting our journey through life. But, most of the time Im busy with my kids, hiding in the bathroom for peace and quiet, or trying to find my dog because he runs away all the time. Welcome to our world...always full of adventure.

MARCH Organization Task

I struggle with my finances. Because I get the privilege of being a stay at home mom, my responsibilities include everything that is within 50 feet of the house, including finances.



So, without going into too much detail right now, I am organizing my finances this month. I know I can do better, much better. And honestly, this job is my responsibility and I don't know much about it.
So, the first 2 thingS I am going to do is sit down with a banker, track all my spending, ALL,and learn as much as I can.
TRACKING your spending helps to demystify money(...where did all my money go? I worked all this overtime for what?) — you begin to perceive it as a tool. You gain a sense of power — you no longer feel that money controls you, but that you control money. (How would that be? Heaven.)
Your awareness of your money habits is sharpened, allowing you to make changes to improve your situation. This is an essential money skill, and it’s easy.

BEING KNOWLEDGEABLE AND UNDERSTANDING helps me to know what I am doing wrong and right, where I could be saving or investing, and know that there is a future for my finances.
More information to come. This website has some great tips on how to organize your finances, but do you have any suggestions? Anyone?
PS-I am having a yard sale later this month. Couldn't do it last month.
