Just Blabbing about Finances! Excuse my wordiness...
About Me
Monkey Mama
Just a 30-year-old mom of 2 in Northern California. Big Monkey (BM) is 5 & Little Monkey (LM) is 3.
We have been a one-income family for 5.5 years. This arrangement used to be "temporary." Our goal is to make this a long-term arrangement.
We saved a lot while we were very young and also moved to a lower cost-of-living area, to make life much simpler. We still live in California though. "Simple" and "inexpensive" is relative.
Likewise, we have never had much debt but our mortgage. My blog is a testament to how much simpler life is without debt; how we have that much more money to enjoy!

We have done well financially and are taking a little break to raise kids and allow dh to follow his dreams. Trying to pinch pennies a little more so we can continue a simpler lifestyle and yet enjoy a few luxuries too.
My brand of frugality is that you can do just a few "simple" things to keep ahead, but keep in mind you only live once, so enjoy your money too!
Kids cost more than I could have ever imagined (in lost wages and expenses) so we are pinching pennies and trying to get back to saving more best we can with rising health insurance and such.
