Saving Money, living Thrifty

There are many ways we can save money and live a Thrifty life.  I really like the photo above.  To me it shows that saving money for things you want is possible. I wrote THIS article for Imagine a Happier You about spending money on your priorities.  It's your money, spend it on what is important to YOU.

The reason I started this blog was to show ways that we can all save money on the things we need so we have money for the things important to us.  One of my Resolutions for this year is to "make my blog my own".  That may sound strange because of course my blog is my own. right? duh! What I mean by that is I want to post good content, new ideas, different ways of thinking on how to save and live Thrifty.

My #1 focus for Thrifty 101 since I started it in July has been ways to save money. 
Areas I'm going to focus on are:

• Saving money when planning vacations
• Finance tips
• Coupons
• Internet shopping
• Money saving tips
• Family activities
• Freebies
• Re purposing furniture
• DIY projects
• Crafts
• Home decor
• Travel tips
• and any other deals or topics I think are amazing. :)

I've added the DIY Thrifty Thursday linky party to Thrifty101. This is part of my "DIY project" focus. I'm hoping it will motivate you in your own projects, spark some ingenious creativity, give you confidence that you can do it too or just give you some "me time" window shopping the fun things others are doing.  

I have many posts planned and ready to go.  Keep checking in for new idea you can use to save money! 

Thanks!
