HELLO - happywave
I am a thirty-something wife and mother, and neurotic homeowner in Seattle, Washington. Funny that some of the most revered simple living and frugal people live in a city with the country's highest cost of living! Delighted to be in their company, and in yours!
159,434.41 owing on mortgage
5,616.42 owing on vehicle
113.00 owing on credit card
Income: $5200 net
Outgo: $4660 net
I am not the most frugal of people, and I'm hypocritical in some areas -- I like to motor on my scoot around the land, and I've been known to eat meat on occasion. I don't subscribe to cable television but I do pay $$ for film festivals and DVD/video rentals. I try to drink green tea but sometimes when it's cold and wet foamy hot coffee calls to me like a nursing blanket.
Current things:
Interested in saving at least a dollar a day. Mortgage costs are up $33.41 a month.
Interested in cutting monthly outgo to $4194 ON AVERAGE.
