Budgeting Basics

Hi, my name is Mark. I am a husband, father, and grandfather. After thirty-three years of flying all over the world, I retired as a commercial pilot. I have a knack for saving money and finding the best ways to keep money in our pockets.

Years ago, when money was particularly tight, we tried to stretch our dollars as far as possible for our big family. I brought my coupons to the store and searched for the best deals possible. I loaded up the groceries on the belt and handed the cashier my coupons. When the transaction was completed, she looked at me and said in awe, “You da’ coupon king.”  My wife wrote a funny story about this here.

Over the years, I can attribute small, easy habits that reduced our utility bills and saved money at the grocery store and the gas pump that benefitted our family.

I can’t wait to share them with you and…hear what money-saving tips, apps, or advice you use, too.

Please take a moment to subscribe to my weekly suggestions on how you, too, can start saving money.
