Just as with most big changes, getting out of debt is a lifestyle adjustment. It’s not something you do in one big moment, it’s not something that’s done once and then over. Living debt-free is a lifestyle and a mindset… a really, really great lifestyle and mindset.

categories: Inspiration & Motivation, Parenting, Tips & Tricks

Hygge – the Danish not-so-easy-to-define word for happiness, coziness, nostalgia, and contentment – is a big part of why Denmark is consistently ranked as one of the happiest places in the world.

Ready to embrace hygge and live like the Danish do?? Here are 10 things you can do to add hygge to your life:
