    Must have missed this the first time around.

    My friends know about it!!! I send them links, I post things on FB, I say "Hey, look at this!" I hope to get them to sign up but after showing the horse where the water is.... it's up to them to drink.

    I've never recommended the place, simply because none of my friends would come here.

    I read some posts to DH but I keep FV to myself for the most part. FV is my frugal secret. All mine.

    I have told alot of people of people about FV. I don't know if they have checked it out or nothing. No one has ever said anything if they did. I would like to keep it secret though since I do post personal things but I can't help bragging about all you guys since you are all so great!

    I've recommended it to a couple people and I shouldn't have bothered. My mom actually got mad at me. I don't remember why.

    I won't invite anyone else. I don't think many people get us, you know?

    I already made the mistake of telling my mom about Facebook, I wont be sharing this site with her. I've thrown the words "Frugal Village" around to my friends but haven't bothered to ask if they pursued it, needed the actual site, etc. All they would have to do is google those words.

    Yah, I suck at this money stuff, I know. That's why I'm here.

    Only my boyfriend knows...since we live together and I am always reading threads, but he could care less :-)

    I like to keep this place private, it is my little private online village plus I do have finances posted. But that is also why I don't post a picture of myself for my avatar. It is kind of a place I can go to "escape" or relax...without having to watch what I say

    It's my secret little place where I can just hang out and be me. I don't want to share it.

    I have mentioned it to people, but I don't think any of them have followed up on it. None of my "RL" friends know my screen name, and most know little to nothing about my personal life, so I doubt they'd be able to connect me to my avatar, even if they did visit. I mentioned it once to my sister, but I don't anymore, because I am more brutally honest about her shortcoming here than I am with her in person. (Believe it or not, I can actually be tactful when I put my mind to it! <g>)
