shortie scottie new to here
hi all, my name is Tracy I am married with 3 boys. I have 2 dogs and I live in the middle of nowhere in drizzly windy wet Scotland.
I have always been a frugal person and just recently discovered there are more like me all over the world on the web. Wow I am so behind the times.
I love making things, I love fishing and going out and finding food locally and making all sorts of things with it.
I love just about everything except brussels sprouts.
Hope everyone is all well and smiling lotsxxx

aboard FV.
Spent about 4 months traveling in Scotland and loved it! The hardest job I ever worked was in Oban. The people are fantastic!

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

I'll eat your brussels sprouts!
11% gross to retirement
10% takehome to tithe and offerings
emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
credit card debt 7500
mortgage free
freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
then live on the rest!
i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.
