    Balancing Work, Life, and Hobbies

    Each and everyone of us has our own personalities, likes, and dislikes, each of us has our own path to forge in this crazy life we all live in. However, one stops to wonder: how can you go about balancing work, life, and hobbies. If you are on the path to Financial Independence early like we are planning to, you are always on the lookout for more side hustle opportunities. More side hustles means more work, means more income. However, if you have a full-time job, while trying to earn a bit more cash on the side, how can you truly balance everything? Balancing Work, Life, and Hobbies This post…

  • A recap of what we've experienced on our weekend at Camp Mustache Southeast 2017 . Met Mr Money Mustache himself, and a lot of other interesting folks!

    A Weekend at Camp Mustache Southeast 2017

    I have always been a frugal person, but it was actually my husband, Peter, who discovered personal finance blogs and introduced me to them. While he has long moved on and stopped reading them religiously, I picked up the habit and follow a few blogs, most notably Mr Money Mustache. I have since followed a few Facebook Groups, and found myself with a group of fellow Mustachians who are living in the Southeast of the United States. The admin, Stephen, posted something that was interesting: since there was a Camp Mustache in Seattle, would anybody be interested in having one in the Southeast? Well, yes, of course! Everything came into fruition…

    It is nearly the end of October as I type this post and our 2017 travel plans are more or less coming into fruition.

This is only a rough draft and would cover certain cities, states or countries that we already have reservations for or have penciled in our calendars. Each table would contain links to articles that would provide you our itinerary, our cost breakdown, and our reviews (or thoughts of…

  • Ghostbed King Sheets Review

    Funny how our little baby’s arrival in the world changed our schedule! By the time we got back from the hospital, we had a whole lot of packages (and mail) waiting for us, so a backlog came up for product reviews! Nevertheless, here’s a (delayed) review of the Ghostbed sheets we received. With a newborn, finding time to unpack stuff and do laundry can take ages, but here’s an honest and unbiased review of the product. Do note that we received this product for free in exchange for a review. Since we just moved to a new house a few months ago, we upgraded our bed from a full to…

  • Groupon Review

    I have been including Groupon as part of our activities in some of our travel posts but never really got a chance to properly review the site. Here’s our review of Groupon’s offerings, and if it buying vouchers from the site is worth it. It’s no secret I’m a big fan of Groupon. From shows (Cirque du Soleil, for example), concerts, and attractions, we have saved a lot of money by not paying full price for the entry fees or additional fees that Ticketmaster levies on concerts and shows. I’ve used Groupon to search for events in the area we live in as well as traveling to, and to look…
