Why Money Matters

Rubbing Pennies started as a personal challenge to save $10,000 in one calendar year. As a young couple, we (Ian and Jen) know how important it is to live within your means, avoid acquiring a lot of debt and have a healthy financial cushion to fall on in case of emergency. On April 10, 2010, we set out on the journey of marriage with two steady incomes, a newly purchased home, one vehicle payment, and a very modest savings account. In an effort to beef up our piggy bank, we launched Rubbing Pennies in January 2012. This is our story of how we love the life we live, and how we can afford it.

"Honey, We're Out Of Soap..."

   In the last 24 hours, we have run out of several items around the house - some of the necessities and some of them not. Last night we were preparing some venison to make jerky. The marinade recipe called for a number of things we were out of including soy sauce, cumin and minced garlic. Well, there is no running to the store for a few things while we’re on this fiscal fast so we had to make due. We were able to find suitable substitutes for those ingredients and went ahead and made the marinade. We’ll let you know how it comes out J
   This morning while in the shower, Ian discovered he was out of his Old Spice shower gel. I told him we would not be getting any more until after next Thursday. Ian: shrugs his shoulders, picks up my pomegranate mango shower gel and squirts some on his loofa. Jen: “At least you’ll smell pretty.” ;0) wink.
