The Frugal Girl

I racked up more debt to move to California, then the fancy car turned out to be a lemon, requiring a bunch of expensive repairs.

My Dad was a blue-collar factory worker with an incredible work ethic (3 jobs at a time to pay bills if needed), Mom (& her higher degree) quit teaching & chose to stay home to educate me & eventually my brother; they started a ministry when I was a year old-we all helped with the maintenance & function of said ministry.
