One of the things I learned from my father is that your savings should be equivalent to what you will need to live for six months. I would not say income, but to meet all your bills, mortgage, food, and other necessities.

School has started and we are getting into the swing of the new “routine.” Our spending shifts from food to school lunches, PTA fees, football game tickets, and all other school related costs.

Week 3 was a week of celebrating my birthday (Christine).
