Happy Wednesday!
How is it Wednesday already? I’m sitting here listening to the rain, and wondering how I managed to feel behind already when we’re only 4 days into the new year!
I know that money and finances are a hot topic with everyone these days, with the record inflation, and price increases all over the place! For me, it just got really real, because it sounds like I may be losing my “roomie” (aka Shaun) sooner rather than later. They’ve got an accepted offer on a house, and are trying to work out the financing now, so that means I won’t have him here helping out with the finances for much longer.
One of the first things I did this morning was open up Cindy Bidar’s Daily Money Makers Toolkit and start making a plan to do all the relevant tasks that fit for my business.
It makes me feel so much better to have a plan, and I’ll be going through my stash of content here to see what I can use with all these money tasks.
But, as printables creators we also have an opportunity to create finance printables to give our customers what they need to keep their own finances under control.
So, I was really pleased to see that both Jan and Becky have new templates out this week that can do just that.
55 Ways to Save Money Workbook from Jan at Simple Happiness comes with 34 pages of money-saving ideas in both Canva and PowerPoint formats. Save 50% through Tuesday, January 10 with code SAVEMONEY.

One of my favourite products of 2022 was Amy Harrop’s Positivity Printables training. If you’re not sure what these are they are products like gratitude journals, affirmations coloring pages, habit trackers, vision boards, etc. Anything really that helps people be more positive and improve their lives. This is my all-time favourite content to create and I’ve spent years making planners and journals to serve the personal development niche.
Amy has updated this training to include a 30 Steps to Printable Success guide, and a set of Affirmation Card templates in both Canva and PPT formats.
Here’s what the main guide covers:
