Default it's happening, at least one is starting to...

catch on to the frugal lifestyle!!!

i got a phone call a week or so ago from mother talking about these sales she hit & how much she ended up saving & how much of a rush it was!

now, i'd be considered the "poorest" in my family (because I dont have my own job)... and the rest have money to burn (and that's how they act!).

But it was SO neat to see at least ONE of them beginning to understand what I've lived my whole life.

I had to share... it made me feel on top of the world.
and NO I didnt say "told ya so"... tho I so wanted to say it. lol

Well that's good! It is fun, when you first start out and see how much money you can save...and it only takes a little planning and effort! I have been telling my family for months what I have been doing...I think my mom still thinks I am crazy...and my sis, is one of those designer name brand type of girls...but we'll see...maybe they will catch on someday!

after spending the past week here being 'tortured' by my ways...my mom is now walking around telling people 'my daughter is green'.... it's hard to imagine what she is going to say to the family and her friends about me when she gets home....they all thought i was a 'little bit off' before...i'm sure they are really gonna wonder about me now....weehee......
