Hello all!
Hi everyone. My name is Angela and I'm a stay at home mom of 3 kids ages 12, 10 and 13 months.
My husband is a truck driver and was recently in an accident leaving him unable to work for 5 months. This was a real eye opener for us because we were not prepared for an emergency in the slightest.
So, this year I'm determined to get some money saved by cutting back, cutting down ... and being frugal!
Can't wait to get to know you all and become involved in what looks like a great community of people.

Hi Angela and welcome! I'm sorry about your hubby and hope everything is somewhat better now.
Jump in and start posting. Looking forward to reading them.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.
