New kid on the block
Hello everyone, just found this site and I don't know how I've missed you for so long. I'm a frugal lifestyler who is always lookings for new ideas and encouragement to keep fighting the good fight.
How did you hear about frugal village? Bumped into a link on the web
What interests you here? The community of like-minded folks
What will you contribute? Tips/tricks that have worked for me, encouragement
Do you know any other members here? Not yet
How many kids? Ages? Daughter - 23, Stepdaughter - 27, Stepson - 30 (active duty in Afghanistan), stepdaughter-in-law and two beautiful granddaughters - 3 mos and 6 yrs
Tell us about yourself. My husband and I are committed to living below our means, doing as much as we can for ourselves, being creative, being available to others
Do you own any pets? 3 cats, 1 dog (just had to say goodbye to the other dog)
Occupation? Recently privileged to become a "stay at homemaker"
Married or single? Married
Interests and hobbies? Can't stop knitting, sewing, learning to quilt, cooking, learning woodworking, reading, learning anything!
I found this list on an older thread, it was said to be an icebreaker.
Anyways, very glad to be here, I look forward to getting to know you

Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

Hi and welcome from Florida!!!
Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.
