A friendly hello to all lurkers.
Please come join us. I love this place because I can ask really, really stupid questions and everybody treats them with respect anyway.
I think the motto here is, "The only stupid question is the one that you don't ask".
Believe me, it doesn't matter where you are on the path to Frugal Village - we're all here to enjoy the journey together.

Go away! We don't need no stinkin new people!!!
If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.
Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"
