The Beginning

by Shanna Golden

My sister Karessa and I grew up truly learning the value of a dollar.  Our father, who decided to start his family late in life, experienced the great depression as a teenager.  Back in the day, Dad made a dollar the long and hard way. He picked peaches for ten hours a day making ten cents each hour.  Dad then had to pay 5 cents to ride to work, and 5 cents to ride back.  At the end of the day, Dad only walked away with 90 cents.  It was hard for me to appreciate this as a kid, but the lesson sunk in deep.

To this day, my sister and I find ways to save money by doing what we can ourselves.  We aren't exceptionally skilled, but we make up for it with our creativity.  We are excited to open this blog to share some of our money saving Do-It-Yourself ideas.  Join us down the Golden road to saving time and money!
