The Frugal Girl

Few of us humans are motivated by shame, and that includes shame we heap on ourselves. If you do that, you might find that you have more little sparks of motivation than you think you do! I started it mainly as a passion project, and to help hold myself accountable about food waste. JEG I really did not!

We have led 7 sessions of Financial Peace University mostly to keep ourselves motivated. We ate at home a lot and watched our food budget carefully. We still allotted a lot of money for food, but we were careful not to go too far over budget. Finances have definitely been the biggest strain in our 11 years of marriage.

While many personal finance sites focus on things such as getting out of debt, saving for retirement, and investing, what really matters to me the most is how we can live healthy prosperous lives. There are times when I have lost my motivation and wanted to just quit. This site, like life, has taken me on a journey.

It’s easy to mindlessly snack on junk food all day. The result has been that I eat less processed foods, and I eat healthier. A little more mindfulness can help you change your habits, and improve your finances. One of the biggest changes I noticed in my life came after I began paying better attention to what I was eating.

’ Apart from our careers we’re very into cultural experience, LOVE big city life with all the culture and delicious food it provides and our greatest lament in moving to Western NY is that there won’t be the variety that our beloved Portland offers us. How often do you and your spouse discuss your finances/budget/spending?

Every time I have to walk into one because it’s my only option for a food and a bathroom break for the next hundred miles, I suck it up and begin the search- an apple, maybe a salad (but hold the creamy dressing), and a mini bag of pretzels. Grabbing fast food or whatever’s convenient, skipping workouts, etc. I hate rest stops.
