Every first Saturday of the month Home Depot hosts a FREE Kids Workshop, and every month it is something different. This month's theme was Fire Fighters. The boys got to meet real firefighters, take a tour of a real fire truck, paint and build fire trucks and even play with a fire simulator. It's like a video game extinguisher that allows you put out a digital fire.
Like always the boys got their certificate of completion and their pin. They even got a little treat for Halloween and cupcake.
This weekend I had the opportunity to attend a 101 Financial Student University. If you are new to my blog you might be wondering what 101 Financial is.
In a nut shell, 101 is a Financial Education Company. Started in 2002 by local boy Alan Akina, (you may recognize him from the KHON2 morning news-Financial Segment and Thrifty Thursday's clips) he has shared his dreams and his passions with thousands of locals and even main-landers; teaching us how to achieve Financial Freedom. Learning simple but new and unconventional methods of everyday banking, Cameron & I have paid off close to $90K in the the last 3 years to our debt. In fact, in the last 3 months we have paid an extra $11,000 to our mortgage principle payment and hope to have our home paid off in the next 2 years.
Needless to say, this University was filled with speakers and money saving tips. I was able to refresh my knowledge and meet and share stories with others.
I know, I know get to the point. What I wanted to share with my readers, family & friends is that 101 Financial is offering a FREE money saving e-guide. All you have to do is like the fan pagewww.facebook.com/101financial
There is nothing better than a new set of pots and pans, unless of course you can get them for FREE!
A friend of ours, his father-in-law was a former CEO of a popular cooking line in the 70's called, Rena Cookware. They were cleaning out their garage, when they found boxes and boxes of unopened cookware. They didn't know what to do with it all, so I graciously volunteered to take them in and give `em a good home! :)
