If monthly payments are taking control of your budget, you don't want to miss this 31 Days Series to Radically Reduce Your Expenses.

Are you frustrated by how much you pay in monthly bills?

There’s housing to think about, utilities to pay, and even those dreaded insurance premiums that come around once, maybe twice, a year. And don’t even get me started on necessities like groceries, clothing, and gas!

It’s crazy, right?

The thing is, with so many expenses eating up the majority of our income, there’s very little left over to put towards something greater down the road. Even when we try to only buy things we need, we’re still sacrificing future opportunities and savings goals in exchange for the most demanding expenses right now.

Think about this—how would your life change if:

  • You shaved an extra $75 a month off your grocery bill?
  • You found an extra $40 a month by switching phone carriers?
  • You whittled down your car insurance by $25 a month with one simple phone call?

This is the potential 31 Days to Radically Reduce Your Expenses has in store for you!

Based on the popular series by the exact same name, 31 Days has been completely revamped and updated for publication. That means your favorite money saving tips are now available in one comprehensive resource!

From series to best selling book.

You might be wondering what’s so different between the series and the book. Quite a bit, actually. Overall, there’s about 70% NEW content in the book that you can’t find anywhere on the blog. 

I’ve added hundreds of additional savings ideas, dozens of personal examples, and even incorporated a few new expenses to the mix. I’ve also gathered the best money saving tips of Creative Savings readers. You’ll find their fabulous insights sprinkled throughout each of the pages!

A Peek at What’s Included

Over the course of 31 Days, we’ll walk through every single part of your budget together, take a hard look at what you’re currently spending, and explore the tools and resources to change them for the better…even if you already think they’re as low as they can go.

We’re going to tackle:

  • Housing Expenses
  • Food Expenses
  • Car Expenses
  • Utility Expenses
  • Medical Expenses
  • Personal Care Expenses
  • Gifting Expenses
  • and those dreaded Miscellaneous Expenses

Each chapter features three action steps you can take right away, plus links to plenty of other resources to help support your journey. You’ll also get access to 9 bonus printable worksheets so you can apply everything you learn in a practical way!

Yearly goals SUCK. I’m just gonna put that out t Yearly goals SUCK. I’m just gonna put that out there. 😬

Every January 1st, we reflect on where we’ve been, dream about what we want to change (usually everything!), and outline, in excruciating detail, everything we want to accomplish in the next twelve months. 📅

And then, nothing happens. 

Year after year after year, October rolls around and our cheeks burn with shame over our lack of progress. The months we have left—November and December—are some of the busiest! And there’s no way we can get it all done now. 😟

Maybe next year will be different?

Wrong. 🙅‍♀️

I’m going to give you permission right now to let yearly goals go and focus on SHORTER time frames. That’s where the magic happens. Science backs this 💯.

So if you want more info on how to set goals on a monthly, quarterly, or my personal favorite, Six Week Sprint basis, drop a calendar emoji in the comments below, and I’ll send you a link to my latest blog post! 📅

Now let’s say this together, “No more yearly goals!”

Before we lived in an RV, we didn’t make hospita Before we lived in an RV, we didn’t make hospitality a priority. I *wanted* to open my home, but I just didn’t bump it up to the top of my list! 🚐

Now that we live this open roading lifestyle, I try to practice hospitality in the ways that I can. Even if there are seasons when practicing hospitality isn’t always feasible. 

Maybe you’re managing a work deadline. Or you’ve needed to step back and practice more self-care. Maybe you’re cautious as a result of this virus. 🦠

Here’s the thing—you can practice hospitality without anyone stepping inside your front door. 💞

That’s because hospitality isn’t about you. It’s about the people we invite to do life with us, whether that’s inside or outside our home. It’s about making them feel comfortable, valued, and loved. Hospitality is others-focused.

So invite someone to go for a walk.🚶‍♀️
Share a socially distanced meal. 🍽️
Start a virtual book club.📚
Text a friend just to “check in.” 📱
Send a gift card to someone who’s having a rough time so they can buy themselves a treat.💌

You can still build authentic relationships wherever you are.

When you want to “make over your finances”, wh When you want to “make over your finances”, what first comes to mind? 🤔💭

Cutting back on a few expenses? Overhauling your budget? Establishing an Emergency Fund...or increasing its size? 💰

These are ALL worthy endeavors. 👏

But none of those things matter if you don’t check in on your finances on a regular basis. 😳

It only takes a couple of days (or weeks) for that motivational wave of “I’m gonna become a financial rockstar” to wane... then fizzle out completely. 🤯

That’s why the most important financial habit you’ll ever create is a weekly finance routine. 📆

In this newly-released blog post, I’m sharing why a weekly finance routine will influence your bottom line more than anything else, as well as dish ALL the details of what I do, every Friday, to get in tune with my bank accounts and budgeting app. 📱

If you have a similar routine (or want to adopt one for the first time!), I’d love to hear about it! 👇🏻
Over the past six months, I’ve changed. ⁣ ⁣ Over the past six months, I’ve changed. ⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Joseph and I adopted a plant-based diet.⁣
2️⃣ I got the tattoo I’ve been wanting for years.⁣
3️⃣ And last November, we bought a motorcycle.⁣
⁣
Needless to say, people have commented about my recent changes too.⁣
⁣
Most are positive. 🥰⁣
⁣
Others are not. 😳⁣
⁣
And of course, in typical people-pleasing fashion, I tend to focus on the critics more than the cheerleaders. 📣⁣
⁣
But you can't live your life by other people's expectations of you.⁣
⁣
I'm not saying to disregard what anyone has to say or ignore every opinion that doesn't line up with your way of thinking. Listen to wise counsel and learn everything you can from those who've walked whatever road you want to travel. 💞⁣
⁣
But know the difference between wise counsel and someone who wants to subconsciously direct your life.⁣

Because the critic doesn't get to live your life.⁣

You do. 🥳

My name is Kalyn (swipe right to see my husband, Joseph, and I shivering at the beach). We travel full time in an RV, but are Floridians at heart. 60 degrees is NOT warm enough for a beach day! 🏝️

I started blogging in 2012 to share my love for saving money. Today, I help thousands of women live a more minimalist lifestyle, establish planning systems and routines, and pursue positive personal growth. 💪

It is a huge privilege to connect with you here. 🥰

Other random facts: I love to read (lately I’m a fan of psychological thrillers), crocheting relieves my anxiety, and I’m five months into eating a plant-based lifestyle. 🌱

I used to hate meal planning and being in the kitchen but going vegan helped me fall in love with cooking nutritious meals. 🍽️

New or not, thank you for adding me to your feed. I’m so grateful we connected on social media. 

Now it’s your turn! Share a random fact about yourself in the comments. I want to get to know you better! 💞
