The month of December can wreak havoc on household finances, from over spending on gifts, to high grocery bills and taking in all kinds of festivities that we hadn’t plan for, it’s easy to get carried away! Did we need those killer new heels? Possibly not, but they matched the New Years Eve party dress perfectly! lol By the time those credit card bills start rolling in come January, we are already feeling the buyers remorse. That’s okay, Febuary is a whole new month to get back on track and start a smart money saving plan for 2014! Who’s with me?
This February, Proctor and Gamble has challenged P&GMom bloggers with the Family Financial Challenge – a month long challenge inspired by personal finance expert Gail Vaz-Oxlade!
How it works:
Each week we will be given a challenge to share ways our family saves money and makes smart financial decisions using Gail Vaz-Oxlade’s tips, tricks and methods. Watch for blog posts, Instagram photos, tweets and more as we learn new ways to manage and save our money featuring tips and tricks from Gail and great P&G products!
Themes for the Monthly Challenges are
Week1: Cash, Cash, Cash
Week 2: Food
Week 3: Family Fun
Week 4: Clothes
Take the Challenge with me by signing up for your own personal profile on www.mymoneymychoices.com and be sure to jump into the conversation on social media using hashtag #SavingMadeSimple
Twitter Party Alert!
#SavingMadeSimple

she’s so funny, I heard her speak on a panel at Blissdom in 2011 and I’ve been a fan ever since
You are so right, December was truly a disaster, financially speaking. I was a tad short of my budget and had to give in to some nice tall boots… and now, I am starting again… but I was able to cope up… will check out on this challenge! Good luck on yours!
Saving money is always a challenge! Can’t wait to read more about your findings and tips
I DEFINITELY need this challenge! You’re so right about December. February is when we pay for it, unfortunately – so you couldn’t have timed this any better! Will def try to make the twitter party with Chatelaine and Gail!
