    Default New to the site

    Hi Everyone-
    I am new to this site and am I ever thankful for coming across it. After a huge pay cut and having 3 sons who eat nonstop I need tips on how to cut cost. Plus I truly need support as almost everyone I know does not have to worry about this and it can be hard to be frugal when others are not.

    Hi and welcome
    Plenty of information on this site to help you.
    If you can't find something, then just ask

    Thanks everyone for all the welcomes! It has been hard getting use to half our income and my stress level has been high. I am just thankful I am a nurse and for my job.
