About

Hello and welcome to My Life Thriving, written by me, Danielle! My goal with this blog is to help you live a thriving, enjoyable life while simultaneously saving the money you need to reach your goals.

How did I get to starting this blog? Well, I used to think I needed to save EVERY SINGLE PENNY I earned if I was ever going to live the life I wanted for the future. I mean, everything costs money, right? While I was in university I saved every penny I made from my two part time jobs. I wasn’t saving for anything in particular, I was just saving for LIFE. I live in Vancouver Canada, and if you know anything about Vancouver, it’s EXPENSIVE. The one thing I knew was that all the adults around me never had enough money for the lives they wanted, and I didn’t want that to be me. I made a goal for how much I wanted to save by my graduation, and being the extreme saver I was, I made that goal early. I decided to actually use some of my money to go out and do things with my friends, or even by myself. I fell in love with travelling. Life was great. I realised that my mindset had been to save everything now, with the idea that one day I could stop and be ready to enjoy my life. Now I know that saving for the future doesn’t mean missing out on the life you’re living now! I decided to start My Life Thriving to help other people enjoy their own lives right now.

Some more about me: I love to travel. One of my main saving goals is my travel fund. I love nature. Hiking is one of my favourite activities, and it’s free (for the most part), so you really can’t go wrong. I am also obsessed with thrifting, specifically clothes. You’ll see many posts about these and all my other passions on My Life Thriving. I hope you enjoy!
