About Us

 
 

We are a family of 3 on a mission to help others save more time and money. We’ve managed to pay off over $20,000 in debt, save up for our dream vacation, and have more free time to spend with our daughter.

We wanted to start a blog to share all our money tips, tricks, and knowledge with you. We are going to share all the money hacks we have learned along the way: the good, the bad, and the ugly. We believe that we can help you save dollars and enjoy life on a budget. Our hope is that we can help you get out of debt, save more on everyday items, and stretch your dollars when you plan for that dream vacation.

 
 
 

Hi, y'all I'm Carrie Grace. I am a former teacher turned motivational speaker. I've had the privilege of traveling all over the USA delivering 100s of keynotes to companies such as Target, Amazon, Zoom, United Airlines, and many more.

I grew up in a frugal family and learned by watching how my parents managed money. I've always been one to stretch a dollar, search for good bargains, and snag amazing travel deals. Over the last decade, I've been able to score last-minute front-row seats to concerts for fractions of the face value cost, flew for 2 pennies (you read that right!), and went to the movies for free.

 
 
 
 
 

Hi, ya’ll I’m John Michael. I am a commercial photographer. My work consists of portraiture, food, and product. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Eggos, Kashi, The Carolina Inn, Koia, Joolies, and many more.

I’ve always kept a keen eye on sales and deals to keep my expenses low. There’s always areas to save on costs, you just need to know where to look. In the last two years, I’ve earned over 300,000 airline miles, saved $4,000 on vacations we took, and earned cashback on our online purchases with the help of useful money saving apps.
