Hi everyone, my name is Jacqueline and I just found your site. I live in New Jersey and am a full-time medical transcriptionist. Things have been pretty tough the last few years financially. I am definitely interested in finding as many ways as I can to save money. Love the freebies section . Looks like a busy forum and I am sure I will get some great tips here. The blogging section is very nice.

I have a great affinity for personal finance and savings as well as investment so I figured I would give this forum a try...

Hello,

I have been lurking on this site for a while now, and finally registered and now here I am!

I live with my partner in Connecticut and work in higher education. I was really good with my money when I was in college but then when I started working I seemed to always live beyond my means. Thankfully everything is under control now.

I made MAJOR lifestyle changes to help me get my budget under control. I sold our newer car, started walking not just to work but for most of my regular errands as well, began shopping at a discount grocery store almost exclusively, stopped smoking (for almost 11 months now!), started carrying my lunch to work every day, cut unnecessary insurance, etc. I feel a lot better and have savings!

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.

A big welcome to everyone. Both Nate and I do still keep tabs on all the new people coming in and hope that the site is able to provide you with the personal finance information you're seeking. The group of members here is great and are really willing to help people out who are looking to get their finances in order and you should get a number of different views for any questions that you have. many have been in a situation like you in the past and are willing to share their own experiences -- we hope you will participate and do the same as you discover new ways to keep more of your money. Welcome again and hope to see you lots in the forums.

Greetings, I'm an early retiree (retired at 47) and am loving it. I've been to Japan several times, Jeffrey, and I love to go to the ryokans. We have Japanese friends so when we go over we live like Japanese. I've eaten things I didn't know existed! I also love visiting the snow monkeys.

I got interested in investing and, long story short, I'm pretty convinced that the financial advice industry is, with very few exceptions, a scam. But that's a story for another post!

Thanks for providing this forum!!!

My name is Mary Ann. I am 56, work full time swing shift. I am married with 1 son at home. This past year was a nightmare for us financially. Due to irregular employment. I am determined to get out of debt. I am in the process of picking up a second job to pay off some of the bills. I did the interview and tests, just waiting for a call. I am terrible at handling money and hope to become more structured. I have since started an emergency fund (but I'm sure it's not nearly enough) I have a budget in place and all bills are current.
