The Frugal Girl
JANUARY 22, 2024
My mother grew up on a farm, and from her accounts my grandmother and grandfather (who also was a foreman at the local glass factory, along with being an independent farmer) were frugal, and sometimes times were tight. She said she wanted the floor to just open up and swallow her, she was so mortified!).

I have special memories of my grandmother. I spent most days after school with her and my grandfather when I was a child. She had a heart of gold and gave so much of herself to those she loved. She packed me lunches, picked me up from school, let me help make dinner, and was just always there for me.

The inspiration to pay off my debt was watching my grandmother balance her checkbook. That observation brought back the flood of stories she and my grandfather told about coming to the US from Cuba with no money and starting over in their late 30s. What inspired you to get debt free? Was there a particular event?
