Re: Introduce Yourself

You can save yourself from gift expenditures! Be creative and make things to start. I've been making something out of nothing for years.

Anyway HI! Which came first - the environmentalist being thrifty or the cheapskate being environmental?

I'm the owner of teeny tiny business Pretty Cheap Jewelry. I handmake everything and get my happiest moments reusing, recycling and otherwise making something out of nothing.

I give lots of freebies in my shop and have a trivia contest open to all visitors. Win a natural quartz crystal pendant if you answer correctly. BTW the quartz was collected by my brother in mid-Arkansas, I wrapped in sterling silver wire and hung on satin ribbon found at a yardsale.

Watch my posts for many cheapskate ideas, but remember NOTHING IS CHEAP EXCEPT THE PRICE!

Hello Amy!

Re: Introduce Yourself

Hi I'm beeblebrox. I live in Chicago and just started my first job after graduate school about six months ago. I have $13,680 in student loans dwindled down from $17,000 in about 2 years or so. After getting my job, I'm paying more of it down than the mininum payments. Since I got my job, I've read a lot of personal finance blogs and try to save as much money as I can and live like a poor graduate student still. I save about $500 a month and contribute to my 401(k). I don't spend much on extra purchases, but have taken up knitting, so that's where my fun money has gone lately.

Hello. my name is Jason. I enjoy working for a small corporation, and working to raise funding for my dream job. I have decided to do the Dave Ramsey money program, and have been successful getting myself out of debt. Still have some work to do, but hopefully will achieve it soon.
