Hi Friends! I wanted to share with you my new blog- Blonde Money! Its your one stop blog to buckling down on paying your bills, expanding your savings, and getting closer toward your goals- all while making under $20 an hour! (Technically the dollar amounts budgeted can work for someone making $10 before taxes).
I have budgeted out the entire year with my projected bill payments for my 2 recent knee surgeries ($2,217), car payment, insurance, a savings plan of $110 per check (to hopefully save $6,600 by December), and some bucks left over monthly for food, gas, and other miscellaneous spending. I will be tracking my savings and bill paying for the entire year. If you are into that stuff or if you promised yourself 2014 is your year to start focusing on your savings- follow me and let’s do this together!
Its not about how much you make- its about making a commitment and sticking to a budget!
Happy Savings!
Girly Camping® 
First off, I LOVE your Girly Camping blog! I have been camping my whole life and just love it! Now, I am on my way to your new blog Blonde Money, as I have a similar plan. It works! I am a waitress, some days I make $30 per hour and some $10. I thought I couldn’t save but I proved myself wrong! One and a half years ago, my daughter got engaged and we wanted to help contribute and not go into debt. So, I started saving $10 per day, $40 per week……soon I increased to $25 per day, $100 per week. I always took this out as soon as I earned it, tucked it away so I would never miss it. When home, I put it in a safe place……..soon, I had a considerable savings for my daughter and paid our expenses for the wedding too! Very rewarding and an amazing freedom, not having to use credit! Thank you for this post!

I’m interessted in following your plan. I am planning a camping trip to Newfoundland and St-Pierre, so I need to save money to make that happen. I will look into my salary adn come up with an amount. Hopefully, I will stick with it. Thanks for the advice.

A girl after her Mama’s heart!! I just finished my budget plan for this year too! Making a budget is the only way I can reach my financial goals and it’s fun to see your bank account grow. With each week of discipline you are that much closer to achieving your prize at the end. Happy Savings!!
