    Default Hello from Philly area

    How did you hear about frugal village? I found frugal village when searching for more ways to be frugal. Though it I think I need help. It all seems so overwhelming I am not sure where to start.

    What interests you here? Saving money on groceries, bills...

    What will you contribute? I am not sure if I have much to add yet but I hope to someday.

    Do you know any other members here? NO not yet

    How many kids? Ages? I have a 8 month old daughter and a second daughter due in 4 months.

    Tell us about yourself. I am almost a 3 yr breast cancer survivor. I have worked hard to pay off all our debt. I have just our car and house at this point. But with two in daycare starting in the fall I decided to see what it will be like to live with that bill. So far we are failing but I am working on finding money saving tips. Good news is I am putting money from imaginary 2nd child in savings.

    Do you own any pets? 2 cats. Jordi and Trouble

    Occupation? Quality Assurance Analyst

    Married or single? Married for 5.5 yrs

    Interests and hobbies? I use to love doing triathlons. Not a cheap hobby. Now I just do what I can because I love spending my time with my daughter.
