Watch Us Grow!

June 20, 2022 We’re officially kicking off our first blog post with a quick introduction to us – Krystal and Alisa recently got engaged, adopted an adorable pup, began graduate programs, and bought a house, all while working full time!
When it comes to money, we both try to be strategic in the decisions made; both with our individual debt and also joint debt. While we bought a house in a crazy housing market when seeing the rising rent costs across Milwaukee, buying a house was the better option for us. Strategic thinking also went into our individual decisions to decide to go to Grad school as we wanted more doors to open for us along on career paths. With these significant life changes, we wanted to join Project Money in hopes of better preparing for our future.One of the goals we brought up when applying for Project Money was that we wanted to gain the tools and knowledge to be able to navigate rising costs. With the crazy gas prices and noticeable rising food costs, among other inflated expenses, seems that joining Project Money couldn’t have come at a better time for us. When we met our financial coach this past week, we talked about how we want to reduce our weekly grocery bill by setting a budget and implementing cost-saving measures such as growing some of our own produce this summer, taking advantage of farmer’s markets, and creating weekly meal plans, to name a few. We’re excited to be a part of Project Money and look forward to sharing with you all our journey over the coming months!
