Back again and hoping to stick with it this time!
Hi Everyone,
I discovered these boards a year or so ago and it really helped me. Then as Murphy always does, things came up that I didn't expect and I just let my motivation fly out the window. Now I am back and praying that this is the time I actually meet my debt free goal!! I copied and pasted the questions from another post and thought that I'd answer them to kind of reintroduce myself.
How did you hear about frugal village? I accidentally found frugal village through a google search.
What interests you here? I am interested in "meeting" other people with similar goals, hobbies, etc. I also really want to find more tips to help me be as frugal as possible.
What will you contribute? I am a very optimistic person so hopefully I will be able to support other members.
Do you know any other members here? Unfortunately, no.
How many kids? Ages? We have a houseful of furry babies and two beautiful angels watching over us (Bailey and Bethany would be six right now!)
Tell us about yourself. I have been married for 15 years and I'm quickly knocking on 40's door. I like to crochet and cross stitch. I would love to learn how to quilt but so far, it's not happened.
Do you own any pets? We have 3 labs, a shar pei, and a wild tempered mutt that we love!
Occupation? elementary teacher
Married or single? Happily married
Interests and hobbies? Reading, crocheting, cross stitching, games of almost all kinds, anything that makes me laugh!

Hi and welcome back from Florida! Jump right in and look forward to reading your posts.
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.

Aloha from Hawaii Stacye!! Glad you're back!!
Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
