The Frugal Girl

FEBRUARY 18, 2024

I’ve been an architect, day-care teacher to toddlers, and library clerk, but am currently a SAHM to a 14yo son and 9yo daughter. At age 12, I started saving up my allowance and babysitting money to buy Christmas gifts for other children who were less fortunate. I was determined to buy a house that was less than we could afford.

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. I love winter – trees on my favorite trail 4. What’s your best frugal win?
