Welcome to money Monday, where I share my highs and lows from a week of money management.

 

Wise Money Management

This week I saved money by purchasing American Express’s premium car rental protection. Only $25 and it’ll act as my primary insurance if our rental goes ka-boom or gets jacked.

Sweet.

 

Mismanagement. Ouch!

How does a $200 travel crib sound? Expensive? Ridiculous for a sixth (and final) baby?

Yeah, I thought that too. Until I compared it side-by-side with my 12 year old pack-n-play.

Trust me, I ran through all of the options; use the old pack-n-play for our upcoming trip (so heavy! I don’t want to lug that thing all over while we get our rental car), new pack-n-play (still, heavy, and uncomfortable mattress), high end babybjorn travel crib (a cool 300 bucks).

The lotus by guava family was a compromise.

 

How did you manage money wisely this week?
