For the United States, June was a wild month politically, about many varying topics. I won’t get into it, but as a young woman who cares about sustainability & freedom, I bet you can guess some of my thoughts. Some choices were a step in the right direction, some majorly stepping backwards. Personally though, JuneContinue reading “June 2022 Financial Update:”

You’re Creating Problems for Yourself and How to Stop.
Recently, I’ve caught myself and others, almost looking for problems. It’s kind of comical. We refuse to be content with whatever we have or where we’re at. We only focus on that which we lack or we change our minds to no longer like what we have. “The main floor is perfect! Now we justContinue reading “You’re Creating Problems for Yourself and How to Stop.”
May 2022 Financial Update:
Welcome back to Ease Your Financial Payne! This month we mainly went to garage sales, gardened/did yardwork, and I started part time work again. Overall, it was a peaceful, chill month.

Think No Evil
We all know the saying: “see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil”. Well I think a 4th or an alternative option needs to be added: Think no evil. By evil, I mean negative, and by thoughts, I mean about everything, not just about others. That includes you, your goals, life, etc. YouContinue reading “Think No Evil”
Do Better, Not Your Best.
It is impossible for someone to be their “best” all of the time. Doing your best is often associated with perfection too. The goal should never be perfection, but to be a slightly better version of yourself than you were the day before. Thats it. Even if all you did was a therapy session toContinue reading “Do Better, Not Your Best.”

I of course want toContinue reading “April 2022 Financial Update:”
College Students and Money
I went around my local University campus today and surveyed college students about personal finance. (Tuesday, April 26th, 2022) Here are the questions I asked: What year are you graduating? What education have you received about how to manage your money? Do you feel ready to manage making $40,000+ a year after graduation and haveContinue reading “College Students and Money”
How to Become Motivated:
I’ve noticed a trend recently. People think they will find motivation or figure out what they want out of life from social media. Unfortunately this is false. You will not find yourself or motivation from social media. All of that comes from within and choosing to start. Social media does provide a ton of informationContinue reading “How to Become Motivated:”
When Will the Next Market Crash Be?
Questions I have received recently are: “When will this housing bubble burst?”, “When will the next stock market crash be?”, and “Why do Baby Boomers not understand the younger generation’s financial struggles?” First of all, there is no housing bubble currently, and there likely isn’t going to be one again, at least not in ourContinue reading “When Will the Next Market Crash Be?”
The Importance of Gratitude
Gratitude is half the battle when it comes to life, this of course includes finances. If you truly appreciate everything you have and have accomplished, you will be far more content & at peace. As I am writing this, my husband and I decided to walk around places we used to shop back in 2016Continue reading “The Importance of Gratitude”
