  Good challenges! If you're interested in working on both your finances and simplifying your life I can't recommend Mr. Money Mustache enough! His blog is amazing and has endless good ideas for budgeting, investing, and living simply (www.mrmoneymustache.com), also he has a snarky sense of humor which I appreciate :)
