Budgeting A Household
No one likes budgeting. The very word, budget, gives people the feeling of restriction and financial stress. While creating a budget and sticking to it can leave you a bit restricted, it's not really meant to leave you feeling that way. The biggest reason to budget is to make sure you don't end up spending above your means.

The Gig Economy

There have been times when I have taken on a full time job, or went back part time to work at what used to be a comfortable, safe place for me. Yet largely my income has been derived from freelance gigs. And I'm not alone in this, nearly 70 percent of the workforce is contract or freelance based now.
