NOVEMBER 27, 2023

How did you get interested in saving money? When I got my first job in high school, my parents said I had to save a percentage of every paycheck. As a foolish young high school kid, that rule annoyed me because I wanted to spend ALL of my paycheck, but I still saved a chunk of it because I had no choice.

How did you get interested in saving money? I was born frugal, into a super frugal family. In my first year of marriage, I listened to unwise counsel & spent money willy-nilly, the stuff just disappeared like water. Since summer ’09, right after I had my first kid. Do I know where it went?
