Shopping hacks

A couple of days ago people experienced Black Friday’s madness. This year the competition was fierce with most retailers opening their doors on Thursday afternoon. The intent was to get a head start on having the highest sales of the season.

Time and money

Thanksgiving is that time of the year where people get together to be grateful. Personally, I got a lot of things to be thankful for: a healthy family, friends, work, and having the opportunity to wake up to enjoy a new day.

Money Map

A couple of months ago I came across a great post by budget on a stick where he introduced the concept of a Money Map. He defines it as a “chart that shows you where all your money is coming in and going out“.

Initially, I was a little bit skeptical about the whole thing but once I started reading I realized it was the real deal!. A Journey to FI has only been out there for a few months so all I can say is that It’s great to be recognized for this award especially in this incredible Personal Finance community.
