People who know more than me...

I am by no means a financial expert, but I REALLY dig saving money. I have learned a ton from reading blogs from a whole variety of creative, thrifty, fiscally responsible, frugal, and downright cheap people.

Now be advised- these people know what they're talking about, and they MEAN BUSINESS.

While I don't actually know any of them (and they would have no idea who I am), I have a strong suspicion that they might be kind of perfect with money... at least now. I, on the other hand, am normal. I am not perfect with money... I'm sort of a work in progress. I like socking money away and I want to pay the lowest price possible, but let's be honest, I like nice stuff, too.

Here's my thing- I save money where I can so that our family can enjoy life and have the stuff we need.
