    Default Hi there!! Newbie from the Chicago area!1

    Hi everyone!! My name's Nicole and I'm 26. I live in the 'burbs of Chicago with my wonderful boyfriend whom I hope to marry someday We both we need to get out of debt so we can buy a house some day. Raising our children to learn how to handle their money the RIGHT way is very important to both of us as well. We were both brought up in homes where there was absolutely no money management.

    I'm here to learn what I can and to apply it to my life!!

    P.S. I'm a vegetarian as well so if there's any veggie forums around here please point me in the right direction!!

    Thanks

    Peace & Love!!

    Nicole

    to the village! I grew up in the burbs of Chicago (Glen Ellyn) and I live in DeKalb, IL now!

    Check out the FV cookbook for lots of great dishes, I believe there is a vegetarian forum here under the food tab!

    Hope you enjoy the village as much as I do!~
