These are the three main components of our content. We want to share how we manage our finances as a family so that we can spend more time together bonding over shared experiences - like travel.
Our site is for families, or those planning a family. Our family means the world to us and I know that you feel the same way (about your own family of course. We will be satisfied if you just like us).That is why most of the content you find here is all about the kids. In the future we plan to expand on content for teens as our kids grow.

Money is important. It’s hard to do most things without it. Growing up, I don’t remember learning about money, spending, saving, budgets or retirement. Most of us aren’t taught about money until we already are in debt or have made poor financial decisions. We want to share some practical solutions for making your money work for you. Financial freedom should be a goal for every family.
Our family loves adventure. We love to explore, learn and have fun wherever we go. Adventures can be local. Adventures can be in your own neighborhood or even your own house. Our goal is to share ways you can find more room for adventure in your family’s life, whether through travel tips or learning to get creative in your part of the world. Oh and we make sure to share how to do it on a budget.

WE’RE BREAKING UP WITH OUR BUDGET.
As your teen grows his or her financial independence through part-time jobs, you will naturally begin to wonder when the right time will be to get your child a spending card of his or her own. Hopefully, you realize teenagers are too young for actual credit cards, so you are wondering about a debit card.
So, you’ve decided to take the famjam to the # 8 experience WORLDWIDE, Niagara Falls!
This natural wonder of the world has exploded over the years into a tourist mecca, that ranges from absolute cheese ball to stunning natural beauty.
And it’s ALL fun.
I’m breaking down the major things to do and see, and what you don’t want to miss when planning your family vacation.
Are you new to investing and have no idea where to start? Do you have limited money to invest, but want to dip your head into the market?
For novice investors, it is best to save and diversify your money when investing. Diversification will allow you to invest in multiple market areas. For example, if large company stocks take a dip, fixed income would be in your favor.
Online deals are offers for discounts on almost anything you need to dole out money for. Dining out, entertainment, shopping, goods and services, travel. You name it. In this age of digital everything, online deals are available for so many products and services. But it starts with awareness that these offers exist and some willingness to go looking for them.
Growing up, I heard varying opinions on credit cards. Aunts and uncles told me never to have one and to stick to debit cards. My parents told me to have two, so I could build credit. Financial advisors told me only to use cash for purchases to cut down on spending.
