    Smile Newbie from SoCal! Hello!

    Here are my responses to the Welcome Questionnaire --

    How did you hear about frugal village?
    Google search

    What interests you here?
    Hoping to find advice on making ends meet

    What will you contribute?
    If I have any knowledge worth sharing, I'll be happy to do so

    Do you know any other members here?
    No

    How many kids? Ages?
    Four kids. Ages 15, 14, 8, and 5. The 15- and 14-year-olds are my stepkids, which is sometimes relevant in terms of how they view me and how we are able to interact with each other

    Tell us about yourself.
    Going through some extremely severe financial times right now. I am trying to keep it all together without having to get a job that takes me out of the house during daytime hours (the younger two kids are homeschooling).

    Do you own any pets?
    No

    Occupation?
    Working part time as an administrative aide at a school, and also working for a tutoring service.

    Married or single?
    Married

    Interests and hobbies?
    Very involved with church music ministry. I also like gardening.

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

    Welcome to the Frugal Village!
    " May we never let the things we can’t have or don’t have or shouldn’t have spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have. As we value our happiness, let us not forget it. One of the greatest lessons in life is learning to be happy without the things we cannot or should not have."
    -Richard L. Evans
