4 Reasons to Refinance Your Student Loans

Average student loan debt is over $30,000 per borrower (you can see your specific state’s student loan debt here). With most interest rates being between 4-7%, that can make for quite the large monthly payment. And, with a high monthly payment, it can be tough to pay extra each month toward your student loans in order to pay them off faster.

If you are looking to pay off your student loans fast and get rid of them once and for all, consider a student loan refinance and the best reviews of student loan consolidation companies. Here are four reasons to refinance your student loans.

February Blogging Income Report: What to Do When Income Dips

Welcome to this month’s blogging income report, where I share how much money I’m earning online through my blog and freelance writing.

I started blogging 2 1/2 years ago. Back then, all of my income came from freelancing. Now, I’m happy to say that all of my income comes from blogging! It’s taken a while to build up, but it was absolutely worth it now that I have a relatively passive stream of income coming in each month.

And – BIG NEWS – I was able to quit my job to focus more on my blog! I also plan on spending a lot more time with my daughters. But honestly, I was at a crossroads with my blog. Continue doing minimal work each month, or quit my job and see if I can take it to the next level. I decided on the latter, because, you only live once right? Here goes nothing 🙂

Welcome to this month’s blogging income report, where I share exactly how much money I’m making blogging and how I’m making it.

January was a great month and I think I’m going to crush my 2017 blogging goals.

How to Spoil Your Husband without Spending Money

If there’s one person who deserves to be spoiled, that would be my husband. He is truly the most incredible dad to our three little girls. They love him so much that they cry when he leaves and ask for him all day long (aren’t kids supposed to be more attached to their moms?!). He spends quality time with them, reads to them before bed, wakes up with them in the middle of the night, changes diapers and more. I am incredibly thankful to have him by my side.

Today, I wanted to share a list of ways I spoil my husband without spending any money. If you’re looking for free gift ideas or just want to say “thanks” to your man, you’ll want to keep reading!!

How to Make Money as a Web Hosting Affiliate

This past year, I’ve been steadily working at increasing my affiliate sales. Specially, my Bluehost affiliate sales.

And…my tactics have been working, big time. As my long-time readers know, I do not spend a ton of time blogging. I have a full-time job, two little girls and another one on the way, and I enjoy spending my nights and weekends with my husband and kids. Yes, eventually I would love to make a full-time income from my blog, but for right now I am happy as can be. I’m making really good money for the amount of time I’m putting in.

I know for a fact that you can do the same, and I want to help. I feel like a lot of times bloggers share their income reports and while awesome, they seem unattainable for the average person. My income reports are very realistic and I truly believe anyone can make money at blogging without putting in full-time hours. Yes, it takes time!!! My blog didn’t start producing a consistent income for about a year or so, but after that it’s been a steady uphill climb; and again – with a minimal amount of work! Side money at it’s best 🙂

So, two things to discuss today…
