Hello all, gonna try this again
Hi everyone,
I am Lisa and I have been a lurker for a long long time. I have posted a few times but I wanted to recommit to frugality. I struggle with money every day of my life. All of the other communities that I have belonged to I dont feel like I fit in. I hope that you will welcome me with open arms so I can learn and meet some new friends.
