A Home for the Holidays

December 23, 2013 by Melaleuca

When Brock Ryan gets in his car tomorrow, scrapes off the morning frost and revs the engine for his morning commute, he'll save 30 precious minutes. That's an extra 260 hours a year—over 10 and a half days—he can spend with his family. He can have breakfast with his daughter, read her favorite storybook or snuggle with his wife on the couch. And it's all thanks to a little extra income from Melaleuca. Last June, the Ryans took a hard look at their finances. They knew they wanted to have another child, but their current income and two-bedroom apartment presented a problem. Rachel started … [Read more...]

Helping Christmas Mean a Little Bit More

December 16, 2013 by Melaleuca

"We are extremely grateful to have Christmas together as a family," says Cornelius. "I work in agriculture, and my job doesn't have benefits.

Better Than Winning the Lottery

November 25, 2013 by Melaleuca

Nick and Crystal Volk know what it's like to burn the candle at both ends. For 25 years they worked nonstop: seven days a week and double shifts. "As young people, we were taught right away to work hard and save our money," Crystal says. "When we got married, we started with very little. We both worked two jobs and also ran a restaurant." It wasn't an easy schedule, but it allowed the Volks to make extra payments and whittle down their debt. "We started only paying a little extra, but every little bit counts," Crystal says.

7 Weeks To Savvier Spending

October 14, 2013 by Melaleuca

No one wants to waste money. The problem is, sometimes what you want and what you actually do don't always match up. Case in point: trying to fit into your skinny jeans and eating a whole pint of Ben & Jerry's. So while we all try to make reasonable spending choices, chances are we've got some holes in our budgets.
