<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Hello!
As part of my “On a Budget” Series, today we are discussing ways to make your
dollar stretch further. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Couponing</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Obviously this is a great way to get more for
your money and help your money last longer.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Going to the store with a menu plan and
ingredients list</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">This way you don’t find yourself throwing
random products in your cart because you can’t decide what you want.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Shop a thrift stores or during big sales</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">There are obviously some items you cannot get
at a thrift store but when given the choice you can save a lot of funds by
shopping at thrift stores. Shopping local sales is also a great way to get more
for your money. However, shopping at thrift stores and sales can become addicting
when there are tons of good deals to be had, I definitely get a thrill when I
calculate how much I saved. It’s important to make sure the items you are
putting in your cart are items you need and will use.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Buy in bulk when possible</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Warehouse clubs generally provide a great
discount by selling items in bulk. Just make sure the items you are purchasing
will not expire before you can use them and be sure to compare other store ads
to make sure the per item price is less than buying in regular quantities.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Participate in Food Co-Op programs</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">If you are willing to try new vegetables and
fruit and freeze meat, Food Co-Op programs can provide a great savings to your
food expenses.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Save and eat leftovers</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Some people are not a fan of eating leftovers
but not only will you save time by only having to cook a few meals per week,
but you will save money by not having to use as much resources to create
multiple meals.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Shop through reward sites</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">If shopping online, begin and complete your
shopping through sites, like Ebates.com, that reward you for shopping. You
won’t get rich but at least you’ll earn a return on purchases you were already
going to be making.</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>

various ways to earn extra income – legal ways of course!</span></div>

<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">If
you currently work M-F, think about the possibility of getting a part-time
weekend job.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">You
can also look at work-at-home companies such as <a href="http://abitofitallforcraftin.ctmh.com/CTMH/Content.aspx?id=%2fen%2fsitecore%2fcontent%2fOBA%2fOpportunities%2fBe_a_Consultant.aspx" target="_blank">Close to My Heart</a> to provide additional income with a less “corporate” structure.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">If
you are crafty or handing in a specific trade, offer your services through
classified ads either in the newspaper or online. It never hurts to see if
anyone needs your assistance.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Purge closets and cupboards to
gather items for a garage sale.</span></li>
<ul>

sales are a great way to earn you extra income and accomplish some spring
cleaning. It’s also a great way to find stuff you forgot you had </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">If
you find better than garage sale items, list them on eBay or Craigslist to gain
a higher return on your item than a garage sale may bring.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Complete surveys and join focus
groups</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">There are tons of sites that offer payment for
survey and focus group involvement. You’ll have to verify that the company is
legit before signing up but taking a few moments out of your day could provide
additional income.</span></li>

are tons of free files on the Web related to personal budgeting and finance, or
you can simply create your own in MS Excel or another database or spreadsheet
program. Although I am pretty efficient in MS® Excel, I see no point in
reinventing the wheel so when I started envisioning my financial tracker I
decided to look to the Web to see if there was a file already created that
would give me a good start. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

4 of my “On a Budget” series, I’m here today to share with you some ideas for
successfully improving your financial health. These are basic ideas that can be
applied depending on your situation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Consistent tracking/keep your
checkbook balanced</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Move in with family or get a
roommate</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Be conscious of your eating out
frequency</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Determine if you really need that
item in your cart</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Give your new spending plan time
to show whether it is improving your situation or not</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">To
go along with my recommended steps to success, below are more specific steps
that can assist me and my current situation in improving my financial health along
with the expected results.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Track
EVERYTHING</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">My
detailed 2013 Personal Finance & Budget Workbook provides a variety of
tracking worksheets and reports that will help me achieve my goal of increasing
my financial health and getting my expense percentages in line with Dave
Ramsey’s recommendations.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">My
boyfriend will be moving in soon which will help decrease my living expenses,
thus lowering my expense to income range for housing.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Based
on my January income, this would put me in the 48% range rather than 62%. It
still isn’t 25%-35% but it’s a start in the right direction.</span></li>
</ul>
<ol><ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Since I am in a lease for another
3 months, having my boyfriend chip in is the only solution I have at the moment
to reduce my income range for housing. I will be looking into alternative
rental properties that will help decrease the chunk of change being gobbled-up
each month for housing.</span></li>
</ul>
</ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Decrease
the frequency of eating out. Eating out is so much easier than going to the
kitchen and making something; however, the expense adds up – quickly.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">I
am going to try and limit the eating out to once/week during February which
will help decrease the amount of my income that goes towards food.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Deciding
whether the items in my cart are really necessary and have an immediate
purpose.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">I
will ask myself questions like:</span></li>
</ul>
<ol><ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">What is this item’s purpose?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">It is needed right now or can the
project/purpose wait?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">If
I determine the item is needed then I’ll comparison shop via my smartphone to
ensure I’m getting the best possible deal.</span></li>
</ul>
</ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">I
am committing to this tracking and spending plan for the entire 2013 year.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">I
will be tracking it on a weekly basis to see what changes may be needed
throughout the year to increase my results and chances for success.</span></li>
</ul>

Did you notice the new addition to my Blog Header?
<br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.abitofitallforcraftin.com/images/bloglogo4_budget.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="100" width="400" src="http://www.abitofitallforcraftin.com/images/bloglogo4_budget.png" /></a></div>
<br/><br/>
I’ve decided that I <b>need</b> to stick to a budget in all categories of my finances but especially so in an effort to find room for a hobby budget. Right now, looking at my finances, there is <b>no</b> room for my various hobbies, especially paper crafting!
<br/><br/>
I figure if I share my budget and progress here then I’ll stay focused and accountable.
If you have any tips on how to stay on track, please share!
<br/><br/>
To start off my new focus I’m going to be holding an “On a Budget” series this week. I’ll share more details of how I’m going to re-vamp and re-focus my budget, changes I’m committing to in order to adjust my financial situation, budget worksheets, and more.
<br/><br/>
Feel free to join in if you’d like to share your budgeting tips and/or progress.
<br/><br/>
Check back tomorrow for “On a Budget Series – Part 2: Recommended Percentages.”
<br/><br/>
Until next time!

The Mystery Hostess will be drawn from the customer orders placed through my Online Party.</span><br/><br/> <br/><br/>Here are FIVE great reasons to shop CTMH during December 2012!<br/><br/> <br/><br/>1. When you place a $35 order you can add the awesome Whooo's Your Valentine Kit for just $10!<br/><br/>2. You can receive a FREE glue pen with your $50 Online Order!<br/><br/>3. Receive the December Stamp of the Month for just $5 with your $50 order!<br/><br/>4. There are still some fantastic deals to be had on the While Supplies Last section (deals as low as $1.25)<br/><br/>5. With a new idea book releasing in February, a lot of current products will be retiring soon. Be sure to get those products on your wish list before they are gone! (I have attached a list of retiring products).<br/><br/> <br/><br/>The Mystery Hostess CTMH Online Party will run through December 30, 2012. At that time the Mystery Hostess will be drawn from the list of orders and will be announced via email. I will contact the Mystery Hostess by phone to gather her Hostess reward choices!<br/><br/> <br/><br/>You can have your orders delivered straight to you and they will ship as an individual order, so you don't have to wait until the party closes to receive your goodies (other than the hostess rewards if you are the winner).<br/><br/> <br/><br/>To join in on the fun, please visit: <a href="http://abitofitallforcraftin.ctmh.com/Retail/EZInvite.aspx?AuthID=ry4Eadj93KoE9kh7y5h%252fgoI6uh8lPlhT3Bd55p9OUFO1nPBPURkhcCz2ZirxK4BGRT6y15815wU%253d">http://abitofitallforcraftin.ctmh.com/Retail/EZInvite.aspx?AuthID=ry4Eadj93KoE9kh7y5h%252fgoI6uh8lPlhT3Bd55p9OUFO1nPBPURkhcCz2ZirxK4BGRT6y15815wU%253d</a><br/><br/> <br/><br/>Thank you and Happy Holidays!<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Cassandra Hollenbeak<br/><br/>abitofitallforcraftin@gmail.com<br/><br/>www.abitofitallforcraftin.com<br/><br/>www.ctmh.com/abitofitallforcraftin<br/><br/>http://abitofitallforcraftin.blogspot.com<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Cassandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16854896458495841236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079369962240082593.post-15685345546241863582012-12-15T00:36:00.000-07:002012-12-04T13:44:05.807-07:00Whooo's Your Valentine<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;clear: both; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7g9bb2QWyv_5ymX8i8ynlTonbEVoMZlFJO10s2rhGJjJWziU9efR3o3GgfEAqqcQO6KpMTp0O6FEcIccE5GJDDUjhqYUSAfevcwuysDhwybANjidxyOpkv6dAIi7kJDTRrfg9ohOXwXA/s400/Photo%252520Dec%2525204%25252C%2525202012%25252C%2525201%25253A36%252520PM.jpg" target="_blank" style=""><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7g9bb2QWyv_5ymX8i8ynlTonbEVoMZlFJO10s2rhGJjJWziU9efR3o3GgfEAqqcQO6KpMTp0O6FEcIccE5GJDDUjhqYUSAfevcwuysDhwybANjidxyOpkv6dAIi7kJDTRrfg9ohOXwXA/s400/Photo%252520Dec%2525204%25252C%2525202012%25252C%2525201%25253A36%252520PM.jpg" id="blogsy-1354653829339.5776" class="alignnone" alt="" width="400" height="340"></a></div>
