Saving With Purpose:  Short Term Goals @ Frugal Dad
I simply cannot wait to sit down with HH and put together a list like this for our family.  (And, if you are a budget nerd, like me, read through the comments– numbers and alternative scenarios aplenty!  Squeeee!)

5 Creative Ways to Upsize Your Life by Downsizing @ Marc and Angel Hack Life
After four months of living in my parents’ house that is filled to brim overflowing with stuff, the idea of downsizing–REALLY downsizing– is very appealing to me.  Also, considering we’ve survived with 95% of our possessions in a storage unit for almost four months, it also seems very doable.  That excites me to no end!

And the tweet that’s really sticking with me from @WayneLiew. To give credit where credit is due, it was retweeted by @magnetsfast, a fellow Birminghamian.

    Ok, so we lived in a corp apt for two months. I was floored by how much I found I could live without. It was indeed very liberating. I’ve tried to continue the “less is indeed more” thought and get rid of all the stuff that just clutters my life in one way or another!

  2. Thanks for mentioning the post, Brandi! I think you will enjoy the process of setting your own savings goals and then chasing them down. Finance is pretty boring by itself, you have to spice it up a bit to keep things interesting!
