When my husband and I first got married, money was tight.

Some weeks, we only had $17 to buy all our groceries for the week. It was a literal beans-and-rice budget.

Some months, the numbers didn’t even work on paper — and we prayed they’d somehow stretch.

And still… we saved. Even if it was just $5 a month.

It felt small. Sometimes even laughable. But we chose to start with what little we had.

Because it wasn’t just about the amount — it was about choosing to plan ahead and to trust that small steps mattered.

And they did. Little by little, those small choices added up.

We live in a paid-for house. We own rental homes. We’re raising six kids. Running a business. Saving with clear goals in mind.

But most importantly? We have peace.

Not because everything is perfect — but because we’re no longer living under constant financial stress. We’ve built a life of margin, simplicity, and trust.

And it all started with one small habit: choosing to save, even when we didn’t have much.

That’s why I created The One-Hour Savings Plan — to help you start right where you are.

Because $5 saved is still $5 you didn’t spend. And that matters.

It’s a small step, but it’s the beginning of something bigger.
