    Default Hi from Texas

    Hi, I just found this great site and wanted to introduce myself. I'm Michelle from Texas. I've been married 16 years to my husband Rob and we have an 18 year old daughter and a 10 year old son. I find it challenging to find new ways to live frugally and we have already paid off all our debt except for our home. Our goal is to save up for another year to build up our emergency fund then (hopefully) pay off our house in about five years after that. I'm a home health L.V.N. (LPN in some areas) and my DH works part time for a restaurant in the evenings. There are some really wonderful ideas here and everyone seems so friendly. Glad I found this site!

    Welcome to the village

    Yes I'm out of my mind. It's a dark and scary place in there.
