The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 22, 2024

Back when I was engaged and living on my own for the first time (I lived with my parents while in grad school to save on rent), I went to the library a lot and found a copy of the Tightwad Gazette. We rent now and are much happier. People are surprised that we are in our fifties and renting, but it works for us.

Be sure to mention whether you are in the military, a teacher, a first responder, or AAA member. In our experience, Marriot offers the best military discount, so we try to stay at hotels within that brand. Having our own car means we don’t have to rent one and we can bring a LOT from home. Loyalty can pay off.

” Sunrise on Lake Michigan I’ve moved a LOT – not as much as a military family, perhaps, but quite a bit for someone my age! My kids are able to bike to school and activities – my son even bikes to the airport where he takes flight lessons. ”, my response is always “How far back do you want to know?”
