This post is part of a sponsored collaboration with EQ Bank. Thank you for supporting the brands that support this blog. It’s been two and a half years since I moved away from my hometown and settled in Halifax. It now takes about two and a half hours to get home by car, a trip I make about once a …
Now that Mardi Gras has come and gone, and I’ve tallied up the credit card charges, I can fully reflect on my southern vacation. The entire vacation spanned eight nights, and it was an excellent break. No housework, no pets to feed, no freelance work to do. Just what I needed. We left our apartment on a Thursday afternoon. Our …
In Fall 2014, I attended FinCon in New Orleans. Since New Orleans has a reputation as a great city, my husband, his sister, and her husband came along with me. We had a blast, and we knew that the rest of his family would enjoy a trip there as well. When we got back, we all talked about some day …
Whether I’m in the midst of paying off debt or saving money, travel has always been an important part of my life. I was knee deep in debt when I took time off to honeymoon in Cuba. Last year, I put aside a large sum of cash to take a trip to New Orleans, and later, France. All of these …
I’m back from my vacation in France, a whole ten days spent with no deadlines, no pets to feed or housework to do. It was nothing short of amazing, and everything went according to plan, except for one small hiccup on the very last leg of the journey. The trip across the atlantic ocean was pretty uneventful, and even though …
Since it’s almost the end of the year I thought I’d take a moment to look at how I’ve done on my goals for 2014. This year was my most ambitious year yet in terms of goal setting. Overall I planned to save $23,000, and with some well timed tax returns and other windfall money, along with $7,500 in freelance …
The trip that I’ve been saving for has finally arrived. 11 months in the making, my husband and I leave for Paris this weekend. The house sitter is arranged, the pets are looked after, and all that’s left to do is pack. I’m so excited for this trip, I can’t even explain it. I Won’t Leave You Hanging I’ve got …
On Saturday I went for a great run on one of the last warm days this fall. I did 6km at a moderately faster pace, pushing myself to move quicker than I would on a long run. It was a pretty good run, I was very hot but since it was only 6km I pushed through pretty easily without stopping for …
In May of this year, I finally polished off my goal of saving $10,000 in my emergency fund, and set my sights on saving some money for travel. I wanted to go to New Orleans and I saved hard for two months to get together the estimated cost of $3,000 for my husband and I to go for five days. …
And not a moment too soon! I’ve been working on building up my travel fund since I finished working on my emergency fund in May. Overall I’ve saved $7,500 in this account, and spent $1,800, for a current balance of $5,700. Phew! That’s a lot of saving. Unlike my emergency fund, which got a lot of help from tax returns …
