I have been trying to follow Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps to get out of debt and save a little bit of money. Now that I’ve made some progress it’s time to make another decision.
Mr. Ramsey emphasizes how important it is to save for your retirement no matter what age you are at. I am no longer working a public job so I haven’t been paying in anything towards my future.
He suggests investing at least 15% of your income into pretax retirement funds like Roth IRAs. He also suggest investing in your company’s 401k plan where your employer could match your investment. I did do this when I was working.
He also goes into more explanations about how and where to invest your money. I will need to do a little bit more research on this before I make any permanent decisions on where or what I will do.

A few days ago I posted about why I (temporarily) quit homeschooling my kiddos. Things have been more than a little crazy here and we are still working on getting the house, and our lives, back in order. Progress has been slow but steady and I look forward to getting back into the whole ‘school routine’ shortly.
One of the many programs that we use in our school routine, and almost every day in between, is ABC Mouse. I’m sure that you’ve seen numerous commercials on TV about the program and while I once thought that this was only something that ‘rich’ people could afford I was wrong.
The price is actually quite affordable and often times you can find special deals like the one you can get when you click this referral link below. They also send out deals via email for previous/current customers.
I couldn’t see the benefits that the program had to offer because I was looking for something FREE. Yes, there are plenty of FREE programs but nothing quite compares to ABC Mouse and my kids love it. My special needs children need a lot of extra attention and sometimes they just ‘don’t get it’ when I try to explain things. When they use ABC Mouse it helps to fill in those gaps of misunderstandings and often they bring me their tablets to show me something that they’ve mastered and the look on their face is PRICELESS.
