The Frugal Girl

FEBRUARY 18, 2024

I’m 47, married, and living amongst the cornfields in a college town in the Midwest U.S. As our family and household income grew, my husband and I made it a goal to put more money aside for emergencies, retirement, college, home improvements, etc. What’s your best frugal win? We share our home with a 70lb rescued mutt.

I’ve shared before that April is the most expensive month of the year for us because our homeowners/auto insurance and property taxes are all due, along with any federal or state taxes that we might owe. I connected with some college friends via Zoom for a happy hour. Fortunately, we won’t be driving much.

I learned from the best, but I believe that a personal finance course should be a requirement for both high school and college graduation. I enjoy playing the game and I like to win. What’s your best frugal win? My personal best frugal win was marrying a guy who can and will fix almost anything. That’s not right.
