I think it’s pretty safe to say that a lot of us in this life are trying to save money for something or other. Maybe you’re saving for a trip with your family to Disney World. Maybe, like me, you’re saving up for more fabric and materials to create beautiful quilted Christmas gifts for your loved ones (it’s never too early to start planning). Or perhaps, you’ve just noticed your pockets are a lot lighter these days and you want to change that. It isn’t uncommon for people to feel a bit out of control with their spending and decide to do something drastic to get it back under control.
