    Default Hi, I'm new

    How did you hear about frugal village?

    I was doing internet searches for frugal tips and tricks and found my way here.

    What interests you here?

    I'm interested in tips and tricks for surviving on one income (a goal) as well as motivation for staying on the frugal path!

    Do you know any other members here?

    Nope!

    How many kids? Ages?

    No kids.


    Tell us about yourself.

    I'm returning to a frugal lifestyle after a few years of not paying attention. I need to get back into my old, penny-pinching habits! I'd like to go back to school full time, but need to make sure we can live on one income before I do that.

    Do you own any pets?

    Not very frugal, but we have four cats and two guinea pigs. Some months we spend more on fur baby food and supplements than we do on our own!

    SAHM or Working mom?

    Not a mom. Currently working as a middle school science teacher.

    Married or single?

    Married, just over one year.

    Interests and hobbies?

    Reading, knitting, bicycling, environmental issues, animals, and nature.
