Things Are A-Changin’

That’s right. I’m making a few changes around here. Several, actually, that I hope to unveil over the next few months. So please, bear with me while I work to make things better. I’ll start slowly . . .

First, I’ve changed the look of my website a bit. Nothing drastic, but an improvement, I think. Brighter. More inviting. I’ll be changing some of the items as I go. Check it out. I hope you like it.

Second, we can say ‘goodbye’ to Tuesday’s Tip. Why? I feel that publishing only on Tuesdays is no longer productive or practical for me. I want to write and post articles whenever I feel inspired or when I have noteworthy tidbits to share with you. Therefore, that’s what I’ll do. The new title? Simple. TMR Tip. After all, that’s what this is really about, isn’t it? Navigating our own routes with The Money Roadmap. And who couldn’t use some tips along the way? I know I do. In fact, I’ve been doing quite a bit of reading and I’ll be sharing my findings very soon.

Thanks for your continued patience and support as I work on making my passions a reality. I hope you come back to visit soon!

P.S. Be sure to sign up for email alerts by clicking “Follow The Money Roadmap”, then enter your email address. It’s the easy way to keep up with what’s new on TMR!

I’ll be there this Saturday, April 27 at 10:00 a.m. – and I’ll also have copies of my book for sale. Hope to see you there!

Clearance Cash-in

In light of the outdoor environment of my new job as an Education Guide, I decided I needed to get a coat that would withstand the elements. I had an unused gift card from Christmas, a 20% coupon, and a little extra time, so I went shopping. (Which is not my forte, by the way.) I, luckily, found exactly what I wanted right away – a 3-in-1 system jacket in an awesome, bold green color. I noticed that it was on clearance for $40, originally $200. Wow! Ok. I’m liking this . . .

But my gift card was for $50. Hmm . . .

So I went to another section of the store and took a peek at the clearance racks. (Also something I am not good at – ick!) But I figured I could use some sturdy pants or maybe a shirt or two that would be appropriate. I found two pair of cargo pants, but alas, they were too big. Then I couldn’t find any others in my size. Bummer. But as I quickly scanned the racks for colors I liked in fabrics that were suitable, I found four shirts. Also on clearance. One was $7.20, another was $4.80, and the other two were $3.20. Ok . . . I was done. I didn’t want to overdo it.

I got to the register. I placed my items on the counter and the very nice cashier began ringing everything up. I handed over my 20% coupon and my $50 gift card. I nearly fell over when she told me how much I owed . . .

69¢

As I stood there in stunned silence, she smiled at me, handed me the receipt, and cheerfully told me I had just saved $225.28. “Have a nice day,” she said with a smile. I picked up my chin, managed a “Thank you. You, too,” and moved forward, quickly checking to make sure I hadn’t drooled all over the counter. I checked the receipt just to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating, then smiled.

Yes, I think I will have a nice day . . .

I hope to share all I can about the system of money management that has kept me going since 1994 . . . and my parents, since 1958 . . . and my grandparents – since 1931!

I know that it works because I use it and I’ve seen first-hand the difference it’s made in the lives of many others. It can work for you, too!
