Hello from Texas!!
Hi, I'm a stay at home mom of four kiddos. I am looking for frugal ways to make our budget stretch. We are tired of being broke!! We have been writing down EVERY single purchase. No matter how small in order to track where our money is going. It's been an eyeopener. Looking forward to getting to know you all and learning your tricks of the trade.

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

Hi and welcome from Florida! 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.

Hi and welcome, Angela!
You've done the right thing by figuring out where the money goes. Once you know that, then you can start figuring out how to keep it from going so fast!
