    Default Another newbie :)

    Hey everyone! I'm new to the site, obviously.

    I found this site searching for frugality tips on google. I've been obsessed lately with learning ways to cut down on bills. Starting in the next week I will no longer be working, and I am due to have a sweet baby boy on October 13th. I'll be a SAHM so I want to help out in saving money any way I can so that my SO won't feel so overwhelmed. But yea more about myself...
    My name is Christi (if that wasn't obvious) and I'm 20. I live in North Carolina in a one bedroom (a two bedroom as of Sept. 13) apartment with my boyfriend and our fur-child Roxy. We've been together for almost two years and I'm currently pregnant with our first child, a son to be named Jacob Alexander. I currently work as a photo tech at a local wal-mart 1-hour photo, but as I said above I'll be quitting my job soon. There is no reason for me to work when I would be making less than it would be costing us for daycare. I'd much rather stay at home and take care of my baby .

    Anyhow I guess that's all, nice to meet everyone!
