Not new...but back
I've been a member here for awhile but I haven't been on since about January when I lost my job. I'm a single mom living with my boyfriend and 7 year old daughter. Luckily my boyfriend works so we are surviving on that and my unemployment but I've come to realize... I need to get really frugal again. My stock pile is completely gone... I haven't used coupons in ages... my debt is well... the same as it was in January. I had just started to do the snowball when I was laid off. At least it hasn't grown! Anyway, glad to be back and looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.
