    Smile Newbie from the Southwest

    Hi !!

    I just found this site through "Google". [Whatever would we do without it?]

    I haven't read many threads yet; but am wondering if you have 'mature' members such as I. I am 64 yrs. old, married 41 yrs...to the same man !!! We have three amazing adult sons; a DIL, a fiancee and a G/F. And OMG!!! Our first grandchild, just had his first birthday.

    My reason for searching frugal-living is to learn ways to live "more" for "less". Our family is our highest priority, in whom we determine to invest our best of "us"...our attention, time and life-force. Making a Life; not just a living.

    This seems to be the kind of forum I've been looking for.

    Welcome!!!! You have certainly come to the right place. I have learned so much from other members on how to live more for less.

    Where in the Southwest are you? I'm in a suburb of Phoenix.

    Thanks all for the warm welcome. . I'm still just trying to find my way around here. Wow !!! There's a lot to check-out. I don't yet have much to contribute; but once I get started...I'm hard to shut-up.
