    Default Not new, but first post (I think ... lol)

    I signed up here forever ago, and then kind of forgot to come back. Oops. I don't think I posted then, but if so forgive me for doing so again.

    I'm Mandi, SAHW to Ben, from western Michigan. We unfortunately don't have any kids I can brag about. We live an inherently frugal lifestyle as part of our belief system that we're here to be good stewards of our resources AND because we make nearly squat income wise. Necessity is the mother of invention, but belief makes it not feel so rough.

    Anyway, I'm hoping to find some kindred spirits around these parts, as it seems far too many people don't mind wasting their money as much as we do. Thanks!

    Thanks, ladies! I very much appreciate the warm re-welcome. I noticed after my post that I had in fact posted once or so when I first came here, but had totally forgotten about it. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better.
