The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 9, 2024

My cute kids when they were little I used to be a Spanish teacher until I stopped working to stay home with my kids. Our two goats I’m planning to milk next year We also have a big garden, fruit trees, a medicinal herb garden and grow some cut flowers. I do a lot of our cooking from scratch which takes a lot of my time!

I currently work part-time from home, mostly behind a computer. I also had a blog several years ago (a little more on that below), but these days I write periodic essays at A Word on Substack as well as short, inspiring (I hope) messages most mornings at Good Notes. Here’s Beth: 1. I’m 52.

We also grow a large garden & lots of flowers, fruit trees & a 100-year-old grapevine. I seriously overextended on planting and underestimated how much work my dad used to do so hopefully I’ve learned from my mistakes & will not kill myself in the garden this year! As a young 20 something, that felt big!

Family Balance Sheet

FEBRUARY 16, 2016

Now it’s time to FIND THE MONEY! Stop Spending, BUT still live well: 1 – Declare a “Needs Only” month. Are you paying too much for home/auto insurance, cable, internet? 4 – Skip the AM drive thru and eat breakfast at home. 6 – Eat dinner at home. Dinner time is stressful.
