A Problogger Mom

Michelle Gartner from Smart, Not Cheap, tagged me awhile ago to participate in the Moolanomy My One Piece of Money Advice Meme. Sorry it’s so late, but here it goes.

 If I could offer one piece of money advice, it would be to PAY YOURSELF FIRST! I’m sure you’ve all heard it before, but how many of you actually do it? To the max? Maybe you contribute a bit to your 401K, but do you contribute enough to get your full company match? That’s free money! Do you have any going into savings as well?

I just read a great post on the Get Rich Slowly blog titled You are Your Own Worst Enemy. It was like a glimpse into my past, right before I had my “lightbulb” moment. I was Gillian in that post, so dead tired of always being broke all the time, but looking for a quick fix instead of truly working on the problem, because it does require work, and lots of it.
