    Default Hello Im new

    Hello im new here.. I have to say this place looks great!

    My husband has been out of work for about 7 months now..
    As other stories we all have heard.. Savings is gone. 401k is gone..
    Thank god he has gotten a job now. But im feeling it so tight now, trying to get back on our feet. i work full time. but its just enough to get us by.. if we are lucky..

    Anyway.. So i am here to try to find ideas how to cut back even more.
    just me and my husband. my 2 small dogs.1 cat and 1 bird! lol

    I hope to meet some new friends on here too

    glad to meet you all.

    FridayAngel. I think there's a tips section you can go to right away for some quick ideas. Otherwise just ask questions and I'm sure someone will point you in the right direction for you. See you around!
