The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 22, 2024

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). We also want to get our kids through college without them having loans to pay back, and we are 1 out of 4 on that so far! Makeup, nail polish, and clothes.

The Frugal Girl

FEBRUARY 5, 2024

Most of my evenings/weekends are just hanging out (largely at home and in the yard with my family). As an adult, I can see it was likely a mixture of not enough income, high cost of living area, mismanagement of money, and kids just being expensive for single mothers particularly. How long have you been reading The Frugal Girl?

The popular sitcom, How I Met Your Mother, delved into this episode when Marshall discovered that Lily had over $20,000 in hidden credit card debt thanks to her designer clothes habit. For instance, I make most of our family’s purchases on Amazon, but the confirmation e-mail is sent to my husband’s e-mail.
