    Thumbs up New Young member here! turning 21 on sunday!

    Hello all!

    My name is Cassandra I am about to turn 21 on sunday and I live in Portland Oregon.

    So far my life has been pretty easy but Im also about to be moving out of my parents house. (finally!) and I am launching a blog called 21 and cheap.

    Its going to be at least a year long blog that follows me through the process of my first year on my own, with tips and tricks and lessons learned through my experiences. I figured starting here would be a great place to get some basic knowledge of being frugal!!

    so please ladies, enlighten me!!!

    Welcome - read widely and you'll get far more than basic knowledge. We have some real frugal pros on here. Feel free to ask anything.

    And happy birthday in advance. We move the clocks forward so you don't even have to wait as long to be 21!

    Welcome Cassandra and happy birthday, mine is the 19th. If only I were 21 again and know what I know now. It's so nice to see young people who want to be frugal and are proud of it.
