#MONEYWIN

Dasha- “NYC ID is a great money saver that allows me and hubby to enjoy museums and movies in our city for free or at a heavy discount! We get in for free to Bronx zoo and NY aquarium and get movie tickets for 8 dollars per person. I was laid off for a month so we saved a ton of money by me cooking all our meals and doing laundry and ironing instead of dry cleaning. It’s not ideal but the time I had on my hands allowed us to save money despite living on one income.” #MoneyWin

Hanna Losee- “Took savings down to $1,000 and worked hard. A lot of overtime/extra jobs, gave up a lot, sold a lot and paid off $40,000 last year (over half of our yearly income). It was worth the sacrifice!” #MoneyWin (Check out her Etsy shop here.)

Donavon- “Saving $1,000 per month towards financial independence.” #MoneyWin
