    Default Getting back to business

    It's been awhile since I've posted. It's time for me to get back into the frugal business. I've been unemployed almost a year now due to medical problems. I'm considering applying for disability and food stamps. My husband and I are struggling pretty bad right now. I'm going to dedicate myself to becoming the household engineer that I should be. Time to start back cutting coupons, and cutting electricity use. I need some serious positive energy coming my way. Here's to hoping I can make the changes I need.

    I'm sorry to hear you're having medical problems (and the bills to prove it). Hopefully you've found / will find a way to cope with this.

    With all the tips here, becoming frugal again should be easy.

    I wish you very well on this journey, and pray for your medical problems. I am trying to become the household manager I so long to be, and haven't lived up to very well. But I'm learning so much here, and it's really helped so much!
