    WOW! That is quite a collection of awesome topics! I really enjoyed the “$20 Savings Challenge”. Setting aside $20 per week is an act that is so small and simple, but yet it adds up quickly. There is something very rewarding about having over $1,000 cash in your hands by the end of the year!

      Thanks!

      Hi Michelle, just wanted to thank you for all the fantastic posts and to say you are my Idol. I want to be like you when I grow up. You are my inspiration and my goal for 2017. I want to start building a business so I can have freedom to spend time with my family and to travel. I even have a calendar for 2017 that is called life is good. I thought of you right away. Happy New Year to you and your family.

    Student loans, UGH. So hopeful I can get them paid off sooner than planned! About to go read more of your “make money blogging” posts to help with that goal:] Best personal finance tip this year was from my penny-pinching grandmother who said “rice and beans can go a long way when you need them to!” :]

    1. Michelle Schroeder-Gardner

      Great tip!

    Love all of your posts! They are so inspirational. I came across your blog a few months ago and it gave me the kickstart I need to finally start my own! Also, I was able to pay off around $20,000 in student loans in about a year. I made my last student loan earlier this month and will be posting a little about it soon! You can read a little bit about it here though: http://www.acrookedlife.com/november-2016-recap/

    Love you work!

    I don’t have much idea about financial tips but what I can suggest is that if we automate our financial savings and expenses, then it can be more effective. And when it comes to expenses, keeping track of it will give you idea about where you can reduce your expenses. Your articles are really worth reading: I particularly like your ideas about making money from home. These are really great!!

      Thanks!

    My favorite post is the crazy things people have done to save money. I recently started cutting my own hair to save money. I usually go to my stylist every 2 months, but I’m trying to cut that down to once every 4-5 months!

    1. Michelle Schroeder-Gardner

      Yes, I love that one! 🙂

      Thanks, you too!

    Hi Michelle,

    You have great posts here. You are good at crafting awesome blog titles. This is awesome. What tripped me most of all your blogs is how you made $200,000+ writing online. It’s amazing that writers can make such a hell lot of money doing what they love.

    People think writing sucks but they should wait until I show them this blog post. It’s amazing. I’m hoping to connect to you more on a personal note.

    Thank you.
