“It’s not been easy to find a healthy one of these, but after scouring the stores I finally did find it!”

Today I’m deviating from my normal stance of eating only whole foods. Okay, well I never said to eat only whole foods. That would be highly impractical and virtually impossible for all of us to put into practice.

While I still stand behind the idea that eating natural, unprocessed foods is one of the healthiest things we can do for our bodies, I get that we can’t do that all the time. We have appointments to make, meetings to attend, and other responsibilities that pull us away from the kitchen. To expect everyone to make all their food from scratch all the time is ridiculous.

So I’ve been on a mission to find healthy, store-bought sauces that I feel I can stand behind.

“This is a major one. If you want to quickly save money after college, you MUST adhere to this.”

Today we’re going to talk about how to save money as a young adult. If you’ve clicked on this post, you’re probably here because you recognize the importance of saving and are ready to start doing so effectively.

As a young adult, more money saved means having less debt and a bigger safety net. It means quickly achieving those big financial goals, like buying a house or getting a new car. And it means freedom to travel and to have fun life experiences.

While money isn’t everything – no, it definitely isn’t – it is needed to live a life of comfort in modern day society.

So if you’d like to learn how I tucked away a pretty large chunk of money within only 1-2 years of graduating, you’re going to want to keep reading.

“Once I got up, I noticed a HUGE change.”

I’ve never woken up at the same time every day. Never.

Growing up I would sleep in on the weekends. In college my first class started at different times each day. My first job involved working 12 hour night shifts 3 days/week. And I had to flex my hours at my last job, meaning on Tuesdays and Thursdays I had to come in a bit later – and getting up around 5-6 AM, you know I slept in on the weekends.

Do at least some of these circumstances sound pretty similar to you? I’m willing to bet they do.

So when I switched to self-employment about a month ago, I made myself a promise. I would try waking up at 7 AM every single day. Yes, that includes weekends.
