The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 22, 2024

My hobbies range from reading to painting, pen-and-ink drawing, cooking/baking, and writing. I also want to have a sense of detachment from owning things, which is hard since I was raised by very acquisitive parents (my mom shopped for a hobby), so I am still unlearning those habits. If we want it, let’s buy it.

What are your hobbies? 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. Tell us about yourself. Where are you from?
