Hello my friend,

​

Can you believe it's almost Autumn?! I am so excited for my favorite season. Especially since I will be able embrace sweater weather in my new location.

​

I am already in full swing with the SpOoKy vibes, too. As you will see in my recent blog posts. We've also busted out the Halloween bins and started decorating our house. This weekend we are going shopping for the season candles with whiffs of pumpkin spice, apple cider, and marshmallow are in the air.

What did we think about Beetlejuice Beetlejuice? I won't give any spoilers. But I will mention that they did a great job bringing in the nostalgia while making it a stand alone film. It was fun!

​

What's in this episode? A little bit different, but the same. Enjoy!

Tofu Red Curry

An easy and delicious recipe. I made some this week, using this recipe as reference. It's such a flexible recipe with the vegetables. Mae Ploy is my favorite (red or green) curry paste.

Earlier this week, I planned my budget until mid 2025. I will be cash flowing the holidays this year. Meaning that I am using a lump sum from my paycheck(s) to fund holiday expenses. ​ Previous years I used sinking funds. That is where you make a goal on how much you want to save annually (say, $750/yr). Then save monthly in a savings account until you hit your goal. In this example, that would be $62.5 per month for 12 months. ​ Which do I prefer? Sinking funds for sure. I like the constant build of short terms savings and updating my tracker by hand. It also means there is a bigger probability of meeting my goal. ​ Which team are you? Vote below. ​ Until next time!
