We Paid off $3000 this Month Living Broke on Purpose! – August 2015 Wrapup

Blessings on Blessings on Blessings! August was an amazing month for us financially. We stuck to our budget, we practiced discernment and lived content with the things we already had.

These shoes are my absolute favorite and as always all my opinions are my own. #TideThat Summer is super hard for me and let me tell you it has nothing to do with the constant struggle of me keeping my thighs from having intimate conversations with each other when it’s super hot outside.
