Could anyone who has quit caffeine please post your story on my new website: caffeinefreedom.org
I am excited to collect and share stories from people who live life caffeine free. Please be an inspiration for others.
And, check out my website and book recommendations if you are still trying to recover.
Right now I'm not saving anything because I'm in the home stretch of paying off a large amount of credit card debt (lesson learned!). Once that's done though, I plan on saving to build an emergency fund; I've been lucky so far and haven't needed one yet, but I don't want to take any more chances.
I'm motivated to save, because I had a period in my life whne my husband and I were starting a business, and spent everything we had, plus maxxed out credit cards. It was a very stressful time. I'd never lived like that before, and hope to never live that way again. Fortunately, our business was successful.
Wow ! Been trying to figure out how to remove scratches for awhile. Armor Etch did an amazing job!! Yep, Q-Tip and don,t rub, let set for 5 minutes and rinse with warm water. Thank you very much!!!!
I'm motivated to save because I have been diagnosed with health issues and the medicine is costly and at times, takes a toll on my budget. To help my family, I try to save in as many ways as possible so my health condition isn't a financial imposition.
What motivates me to SAVE?! The most important and number thing that motivates me to SAVE is being a Mother and raising two beautiful children (a boy and a girl;). My hubby and I were never able to afford to go to college ourselves, nor did we have the support or guidance to help us find other means of going to college (FAFSA/scholarships, loans etc. which we now know;) so it has been my life's goal to help and to do whatever I can as a parent to help my children to have a brighter future by going to and finishing college. To earn a degree and start a career to have a better life for themselves and their future family. Our oldest (proud mama here;) has just graduated from nursing school and our youngest has just started his freshman program in Mechanical Engineering at Michigan Tech. We work daily to try to cut corners and tighten our budget to save and help them both achieve their goals. One down and one to go! Blessed in Michigan <3 @ciesla504
I save so that I am ready for the future. You never know where you will go or what will happen to you and your family. I want to be prepared as best as I can, and for that I try and save my money.
I have 6 children and the mere thought of grocery expenses each month drives me to want to save. I clip coupons and go on line and search out coupons. I find friends who have gardens with too much veggies and I take some off their hands. I will wheel and deal where ever I can just to save a buck.
I wish I had seen the deal for the HP computer last month y computer is slowly dying (pun intended). I'll be on the lookout for great deals on laptops this month!
We want to adopt a baby and that truly motivates me to save! I want to make sure I have all the resources we need to provide a safe and happy home for my child.
Paraphrasing: "Lead me not into temptation, I already know how to find it." One of the best ways to manage my money is to make sure I limit my exposure to places where I know I'm going to impulse-buy the most. If I'm going to the ballpark or an amusement park, I bring cash; if I'm grocery shopping, I shop in the middle of the afternoon and not when hungry or tired. And so on.
Great tips! I read this post at a perfect time because it's about time to replace my dying mac. I'll most likely keep an eye out for the refurbished computers on the apple store.
What inspires me to save is my need for security. I like having money set back for emergencies so that we can be prepared and not suffer financially. Also big events in life like my children going to college have inspired me to opening saving plans for them to help pay for some of their college expenses.
I'm sad because I already have an account with SaveUp so I don't think I can see the WiseBread game. Oh well. :(
I am motivated to save by the security it brings. I love that I don't have to worry about money - the more I save, the less I have to worry about my future. It helps me live a stress-free life.
When I see savings adding up, it feels like getting a gold star did, back in grade school. :) The more money I have in savings, the more money I want to save! Not only am I proud of myself that I kept from spending that money on something frivolous, but it also adds peace of mind that I have a "rainy day fund" as well.
What motivates you to save?
My husband lost his job unexpectedly in 2009, and was out of work for close to 2 years. This really woke us up on how important it is to save. In addition we have 2 young boys that we need to think about. In this economy it is very important to have a back up source!

growing up poor and dealing with the stresses of not having money to make ends meet, let alone deal with emergencies
"Mio" is a concentrated, artificially sweetened drink mix. Like Crystal Light. Two of the newer flavors have caffeine.
You've got some great links there. I'm not sure I understand the connection to keeping fit and staying healthy though?? Maybe I'm missing something..
This is great! I've never purchased refurbished but I know others who have and were very happy. Thanks for the tips!

I'm a person who likes to save, I don't have to have extra motivation. Just knowing I have it to use when I need it is motivation enough.

Also big events in life like my children going to college have inspired me to opening saving plans for them to help pay for some of their college expenses.
Security is my motivation to save. Saving allows me to be less afraid of job loss or injury.

I get motavated to save when I take a look at my savings and it's so little that it's scary. It works like this for me all the time. @mcjunkie

Peace of mind motivates me to save. I love the security a nest egg gives me.
Good idea! I might try the chicken - it still tastes good after being frozen? Sounds like a good thing to have to just thaw and throw into a salad.
