New to Frugal Village!
How did you hear about frugal village?
I stumbled upon it while googling how to sell Barbie dolls!
What interests you here?
Well, I retired a year ago, and my husband is out of work, so we are living on a smaller income than we used to.

I'm not sure yet!
Do you know any other members here?
No!
How many kids? Ages?
I have two kids. One is 19 and in college; the other is 12.
Tell us about yourself.
I taught English for thirty years in the local high school. I am happy to be retired! I have major insomnia and a little arthritis, but I'm pretty healthy otherwise.
Do you own any pets?
Four dogs. We love our dogs.
Occupation?
None! Retired teacher.
Married or single?
Married
Interests and hobbies? Scrapbooking, reading, flea market seller

Welcome to the village. My husband and I are retired and we live on about $25,000. at the least less than before. It can be done and the village will help. Less money kind of separates the men from the boys so to speak. You decide what is needs and what is wants and simple is the way to go.
