Hi!
Hi! I'm an out of work wife and mother (different than a stay at home mom in that my kids are all grown or nearly grown and don't need me at home... i just don't have a job right now). Since we are now living on one income, I'm trying to be as frugal as possible. It's really more of a "have to" than a "want to" at this point, but I'm hoping to make it a lifestyle, even after I go back to work. I look forward to learning all I can on the forums, and getting to know everyone!

Aloha and welcome from Hawaii!!
Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
