    Default Introduction

    Hi, I'm new here. I've always been frugal but I've found a need to step it lately. I've been married to a man for 2 and half years that has a huge credit card debt that I am sick of barely paying and want it gone! I have finally gotten him to be more on the frugal side so it should be easier to get it paid off now. We are now also foster parents we currently have 3 small children ages 4, 3, and 2 all siblings that we have had in our home for the past 7 months so that has drastically uped our expense. I am no longer working more than one day a week in order to take care of the 3 small ones. I have 2 teenagers from my first marriage and my son now 14 is eating us out of house and home. Sooooo tightening the frugal belt so to speak. Hope to get lots of inspiration and ideas.
