Hello - I recently checked out the latest copy of Your Money or Your Life from the library. Re-reading the latest edition of the book led me to search online for more information which in turn led me here. I am glad to have found a forum with people with similar interests.
My interest this last year has been on urban homesteading and low cost living. Like my login, I am trying to be more frugal. We have reduced our costs quite a bit and are always looking for more ideas. This has been the first year in my life I ever kept a to the penny budget and I'm actually quite enjoying it. I set it high enough so that I can come in under budget each month with a modest effort, so it is like a game to see how much money I have left in the budget at the end of the month.
I look forward to reading more of the posts her and getting more ideas on how to reduce our expenses. I've just started browsing the forum posts today and already have a few ideas jotted down.
