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.

I am the oldest of seven kids (yes, we all have the same parents – I get asked that quite a bit!).

My childhood was split between Florida, Ohio and Minnesota.
