Are you passionate about herbs? Ever thought about turning your love of herbs into a little side business to help you save more money in your retirement account? If your retirement account needs a little extra help to grow, cashing in on your love of herbs can help you to make and save more money!
I started down the herbal path years ago, when I surprised my husband by signing us up for a local introductory herb class. We both enjoyed being outside in the garden and the class sounded like something fun to do.
My husband and I liked to try new recipes, and we often experimented with herbs and spices. He had commented that our meals tasted so much more flavorful and looked more vibrant when we used fresh herbs from our garden.
The class we took was a lot of fun as it included a little about the folklore and history of herbs, gardening tips, delicious recipes, and lots of great herbal treats to eat. We chopped fresh basil and made pesto right in class!
The classroom smelled amazing, and I was hooked!
Little did I know that my new hobby would open up some fun ways to make extra money and help me catch up my retirement account . . . . .

F-You Money and Herbs.
I learned about F-You Money at Chautauqua, a financial independence conference set in the English countryside and surrounded by herb gardens. Five amazing speakers/bloggers shared their ideas about financial independence (FI), side hustles, and early retirement.
One of the best parts of Chautauqua was being with a group of people who get it. People who have F-You Money. People who understand there is more to life than working at a job (when you’d rather just spend your time puttering in the garden or playing with herbs).
If you can grow a garden, learn how to forage for wild food, become your own chef, and get to know just 10 herbs to spice up your meals and keep you out of restaurants, then you may be able to save more F-You Money!
Spice up homemade meals with herbs instead of eating out and you’ll be able to save more F-You Money.

We all have a money story, but did you know you can re-write the ending in order to improve your finances? Here’s how we found the motivation to change our money mindset.
Are you living with the stress of debt? My family struggled with debt far longer than we should have before my husband and I finally woke up, changed our ways, and began saving our money.
We struggled through the Great Recession of 2007 – 2009. At that time, I had my own early childhood education business. Due to the economic downturn, I ended up closing my business and sold all my classroom equipment and supplies.
