    Smile Hello everyone!

    I'm new here also, been poking around for a few days and wanted to say hi.

    I was a graduate student until about two months ago, when I figured out that if I stayed in school any longer we would just keep racking up more debt! Right now I'm trying the SAHM route.

    My DD just turned 5 and we are expecting a baby boy in April. My DH and I have been married since 05/1999. I look forward to meeting and learning from you all!

    Thanks for the welcomes everyone!

    My BA was in English. I got my MA in June (also English lit) and went into a PhD program in Sept. I've been in school since I was 4 years old and also got into more debt getting my MA than I ever did getting my BA! I love going to school but the $$ aspect makes the idea of 5-7 more years of school a little scary.

    We're adjusting to not thinking of student loans as "extra income" and really trying to live on DH's income so I can stay home with these little ones (it was child care tuition that really got us into debt!)

    I was on Frugal Moms ages ago as "marcelory" but lurked more than I posted . I can't wait to get my frugal act together again.
