I think that I heard about Kristen’s blog through Katy, the Non-Consumer Advocate. I don’t know how I heard about Katy’s blog first! I can remember quite a few years in college and grad school when my part-time jobs juuuuust barely covered my expenses (and sometimes not even that!)

I first stumbled across Kristen’s blog about 10 years ago. I didn’t relate to the homeschooling posts at that time so I ended up re-discovering her blog about 6-7 years ago and have been reading regularly ever since. This is completely inspired by this blog. How long have you been reading The Frugal Girl?
