If you are a parent, some day you will most likely become a grandparent. Being a grandparent is tons more fun than parenting. You get to enjoy all the cute moments and hand back the kid when they stink or act out! I only remember staying with them once without parents around. They tolerated our presence.

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 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! Not at all.

Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 12, 2016

I am the oldest of seven kids (yes, we all have the same parents – I get asked that quite a bit!). The inspiration to pay off my debt was watching my grandmother balance her checkbook. Stop eating out – it’s so much better for your wallet and your waistline to cook at home. I am used to moving a lot!
