    Default Hi! I'm new!

    Hi everyone!! Just found this site today and it's great! I hope to find a lot of ideas and tips. Well, I filled out the new memeber survey below for you to get to know me a little better.


    How did you hear about frugal village? I googled "frugal living" and this site was the first to pop up

    What interests you here? Saving money, getting out of debt, and cutting bills

    Do you know any other members here? Not yet

    How many kids? Ages? No kids yet

    Tell us about yourself. I am a 24 year old female. I work at a good job, but being relatively new in the workplace, I'm not make tons of money. I bought my first house last year, have a pretty good size student loan, an lots of credit card debt. I live with my boyfriend (who I will marry eventually) who has another good size studen loan, car payments, and some credit card debt (although not as much as me). We are trying to save money and cut bills so that our future together won't be stressed over money.

    Do you own any pets? I have two pug puppies!!

    SAHM or Working mom? Not a mom yet

    Married or single? Single

    Interests and hobbies? I love to play with my puppies, work on the house (it's a fixer-upper that we plan on making some money off of), and read (when I have time!).


    One more question I wanted to asked...I've read that some people are secret shoppers and I was wondering what sites/companies to you work through? I've been interesting in this and am a little afraid that I won't pick a legit company and will lose money. An info on this would be great!!

    Thanks a lot! And I can't wait to meet all of you.
