This is my first time blogging. I tend to be a message board and blog lurker, and I rarely post. I normally like to talk or debate things face to face.

Money is the exception. I was raised to not talk about money. It is a subject that makes me feel uncomfortable. Most people really don't care how much you save, they are more interested in what you are buying. Hopefully this blog will allow me the opportunity to vent, discuss, and celebrate my penny pinching ways with like minded individuals.

I also love reading blogs describing people's successes. Hopefully I will be able to post my successes and give someone hope.
