This is my blog, all the posts, thoughts, ideas, ramblings are mine. Why did I start blogging? Because of 2 things, I love saving money and telling people how they can too and because I wanted to be able to make money from home. Yes, I get certain forms of compensation for certain things that I post, but I will always give my honest opinion in my posts. After all, this is a personal blog, so these are my personal thoughts.
I’m not perfect and I make mistakes. I may post something that won’t work for you. I am not any kind of certified doctor, financial adviser, ect. It’s important to do your own research before deciding to do something based on something I’ve said.
Like I said above, I get compensation for certain things that I post. Some posts I write may have affiliate links in them. I provide this website for you to use for free and this is how I earn enough to be able to keep writing it. I very much appreciate it when you go through my personal links to sign up for something or to make a purchase.
And the legal stuff…..
