Just a heads up, this post is sponsored by the fine folks at Chase. This should go without saying, but all opinions are our own and came straight from our own noggins. Just recently, Johnny and I were driving through our college stomping grounds when we passed the abandoned building…
Johnny and I spent the weekend folding laundry. Weeks’ and weeks’ worth of it. It was getting to a point last week where I’d have a mild panic attack each morning when it came time to dress the girls. Do they even have any clothes left in their closet?? Please,…
Hello, is this thing on? Hi. It’s been a while. Almost a month, actually. And here we are in July, halfway through 2016. Where has the time gone?! Well, we know exactly where it’s gone, but more on that in an upcoming post. It’s July, people! And you know what…

Always. Or, most of the time. Johnny and I were having one of our nerdy money discussions last night, and we were looking back on our days of paying down our student loans and how we actually made it work. We weren’t making much money, but our debt payoff goals…
Just a heads up, this post is sponsored by the fine folks at Block Advisors. This should go without saying, but all opinions are our own and came straight from our own noggins. It’s been over six years since we graduated from college (what?!), but there are still a few…
