Hi From Canada
Hello all! I joined a few months ago, but only started posting recently. I have found this site very encouraging. I have two girls (ages 5 and 2) with another baby joining us in the new few weeks (days??). We have been cutting our budget to try to reduce debt quickly (we incurred 20K in debt to make our new house asthma friendly when my youngest daughter was diagnosed at 4 mos - we weren't thinking too much then, just trying to survive-it added to the already 20K in debt that we had). Today was my last day of work before maternity leave and I officially found out that I may not have a job when it comes time to return (in Canada I have a year leave). Hence it is even more crucial we pay down debt and learn to live frugally. I am hoping to learn from everyone here (and contribute myself as well)!
