New to Frugal Village
Hello my name is Joe Aka Frugaljoe I am a 62 yr old retired Military guy on Social Security Disability living in Sunny San Diego CA. Great town but one of the most expensive in the good old USA. Hoping to meet other frugal people to share ideas how to make our money go as far as possible.
