New to saving!
I learned about FV from a link on the web.
My interests here are to learn to be much more frugal.
I hope that I will be able to contribute anything that I learn along the way. I don't know any members yet, even though I have posted on their pages.
I have 2 kids, 14 and 16 and been married almost 21 yrs.
I love to garden, read and would like to become much more organized and get out of debt.
I have a dog, Krystal who is a black lab/german shepherd mix. She is almost 3 yrs old and is my baby. My son has a red-eared slider turtle, but basically he's mine.
I do desktop publishing and have been in the printing business for over 25 years.
Very happy to be part of FV and hope to learn a lot and meet lots of great people.

Welcome..
Aloha Nadine,
Welcome from sunny (but chilly!!) Hawaii. FV is a FUN place to be with lots of great people with equally great ideas.
Keep in touch!!
Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

Nadine!
" May we never let the things we can’t have or don’t have or shouldn’t have spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have. As we value our happiness, let us not forget it. One of the greatest lessons in life is learning to be happy without the things we cannot or should not have."
