The Frugal Girl
JANUARY 29, 2024
Now I’m living on the small acreage that I was raised on (which is now smack dab in the middle of town & 2 miles from work) with my mom & my two kids, 15 & 8. We teamwork together to homeschool-I was homeschooled until nursing school, and I am privileged to be teaching my kids & have my mom assist on the days I work.

My degree is in mechanical engineering, but I’m just starting a transition to nursing – before I got pregnant with my son, I was working as a nursing assistant while my husband finished grad school, and planning to go on to nursing school. For me, being in the kitchen and making food for people is an act of love.

We have always loved to travel and do missions work for our church. Daniel can work anywhere there is an internet connection and the kids can homeschool anywhere, but we didn’t have the money to buy the plane tickets or book AirBnB apartments. We sold extra items that we weren’t using through Craigslist and garage sales.

Take care of your wardrobe to keep it looking work and wear worthy. Use up your food. No one likes second hand food, but if you fix it differently the second time around it can still be appetizing. With fresh food – buy only what you can eat before it goes bad. Plan uses for your leftovers.

We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. We especially never put anything consumable (like gas, food, eating out, movies and etc) on a credit card. I worked a part time job the weekends he wasn’t working.

We especially need essential stuff, like food, water, shelter, heat, clothing, defensive and offensive protection. Once we are out of school and into the working world, another phase of the stuff life cycle begins. However, they could no longer work the farm and they had no close relatives. Humans need stuff. You get stuff.

If you don’t have enough money to put food on the table, you are going to do something about it. As a young mom, I saved like mad – going to garage sales, thrift stores and accepting hand me downs on toys and clothing. In its simplest form, the thing that makes a person a saver is the act of saving.
