    Thanks to all! I'm really lost though. I don't understand most of the lingo. I did figure out FSOT but the rest is like another language.

    Also, what does all that stuff mean under the posters sig? I understand the parts about family members but what about grocery money and jars of coins and credit card info and car payments and such???

    Howdy and welcome Cody! I certainly understand what you mean about being a bit lost on the lingo. If it makes you feel any better you're one up on me understanding the FSOT thing I'm afraid I don't have any answers to your questions but I wanted to thank you for asking as I've been wondering myself! HEre's hoping we both have luck getting the answers!

    Don't worry about learning the lingo...it'll come to you! Maybe we should start a page of decoding the lingo!

    FSOT: for sale or trade
    ISO: in search of
    EF: Emergency Fund (basic savings for emergencies)

    And much of the rest is people either posting their own challanges or participating in the challenges you'll find on the challange board. I think for the most part, it is just people keeping track of things.

    Some are tracking themselves paying down their debt, others are tracking their savings, I am trying to track my grocery spending, becuase it is the one place I go over my budget every month!

    So, don't feel overwhelmed, we are kind of learned as we went on this site! You'll enjoy it! If you see something you can't figure out...just post the question, and someone will be able to answer it for you! Gabe and Sara are excellent at answering questions and they know the site inside and out since they created it!
