The Frugal Girl

FEBRUARY 18, 2024

We ending up buying our current home in 2015, when local prices and interest rates were significantly lower. The first few years after graduating, I racked up a large credit card debt and bought a new SUV that cost approximately the same as my annual salary. We spend a painful amount of money on groceries these days.

FEBRUARY 10, 2017

We had quite a bit of momentum coming out of 2015 and I never doubted our own abilities. We dramatically reduced our spending by cutting our cable TV and landline , shopping thrifty, eating out less often , and lowering our grocery bill. I even created a hashtag, #crushingdebt2016. So, you know I was serious!
