    Default Noob here

    Hi from North Florida, I'll go ahead and fill out the new member survey

    How did you hear about frugal village? link from a homesteading type forum that I frequent

    What interests you here? mainly getting our finances in check

    What will you contribute? shre some things that I've learned over the years, much of which is warning not to make the same mistakes I did

    Do you know any other members here? no

    How many kids? Ages? I have once daughter age 6, my fiancee has 2 daughters age 17 and 21

    Tell us about yourself. I'm 35 my fiancee is 40, we recently purchased a home on an acre in a semi rural area and we're working on becoming as self sufficient as possible, we have chickens for eggs and meat, a small garden that will be much bigger soon. we'll also probably get a couple piglets in the fall and raise them for meat.

    Do you own any pets? aside from chickens we have 2 dogs, a pitbull and a pekenese/shitzu mix, 3-5 cats two that are actually our and the others aka "the mooch crew" came with the house and we also have a saltwater reef aquarium

    Occupation? I work for an airline and my GF is a nurse

    Married or single?..cohabitated LOL

    Interests and hobbies? aside from the farm/self sufficient I'm also into motorcycles, I have a 79 harley chopper that I'm building, a 75 kawasaki mach II 500 that will be getting rebuilot after the HD is done and we just picked up a 74 Honda cl360

    You might enjoy our sister site

    Welcome to the village! I used to live in South Florida. North Florida is a completely different world.
