    Cool Hello - self-intro

    Working mom, dual-income family, one child, trying to stay afloat in Austin, TX. Floundering in our debts, we had to get medieval on our budgets this year. Each grocery cost and gas cost increase just squeezes us all the more. All our money goes to mortgage, debt-repayment and childcare. However being a SAHM not an option for me. Figures below represent my half of mortgages/HI loan, and my personal debts. Am glad to be here and trying to learn all I can.

    Hi. Welcome. My DS is in Austin (at UT) and is coming home later this week. I also was a single-mom, so I know how challenging it can be - and also how rewarding! I wish you the best, and please PM me if I can be of any help.
