ABOUT US

Hebrews 13:5: “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

Our Mission

Are you stressed about money? Are you in debt, or worried about how to pay the bills? Do you feel trapped, and wish that you were able to manage your money instead of being controlled by the demands of your bills that need to be paid? Then you are at the right place because my mission is to help you any way I can!

Here you will find tips and tools for budgeting, frugal living, debt repayment and living debt-free, saving and investing, teaching children and teens about money, and much more. While you will find recommendations for saving and investing here, this blog will not teach you how to get rich quick. I firmly believe that contentment and happiness are not found in riches. Instead, we will focus on how to manage our finances and live within our means to find contentment rather than allowing your money to cause stress and anxiety.

As a Christian, I also believe that God cares about how we manage our money. Money is mentioned many times in the Bible, and I think that is because the way we prioritize, use, and value our money can affect every aspect of our lives including our mental and physical health and the health of our relationships.

I look forward to getting to know you and sharing in this financial journey together!

Why did I start the Happy Blue Pig?

Shortly after I had stopped working full time, a coworker and I were chatting about finances. There had been an error in pay at the company, and my  coworker was amazed that my husband and I were able to maintain savings and not spend our money in the bank. She was living paycheck to paycheck, in debt, and feeling serious stress because of it. My heart broke for her, and I shared what information I could during our short work break, including my budget spreadsheet that I used. Since that time, I have felt compelled to help my coworker and others like her to better manage finances and stop stressing about money. It is my dearest hope that I can be of help to each and every one of you who visit my site, through sharing my tools with you or teaching about money management!

Get to know Sarah

Hi, I’m Sarah, the creator of Happy Blue Pig. I have a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and I was a Director of Rehabilitation, but I have taken a step back from my healthcare career to find a better balance for my family. That meant tightening the finances at home, but it has been completely worth it! I want to help you take control of your money so you can live more fully and end that money-stress too. Aside from writing about finances, I enjoy being the mom of a toddler, playing frisbee with my dog, and gardening and canning.
