Just thought I'd jump into the blogging world. I have been reading blogs on Saving Advice for quite some time now - and I love them all! I have learned so much from each blogger's financial adventures...
More about me -- I am 40ish (hmm...) working wife and mom living in --- gasp! Southern California! I work for a local government and love my job. I have a 19 year old son in college and a 9 year old daughter still at home.
Hubby and I are frugal by nature - we both grew up with Depression era parents. Our main focus is retirement (6 years for me and 14 for DH). I am trying to save as much as possible towards that goal. We do max out our IRAs and 401K/457bs every year but feel that we need to do more. I am also a fierce couponer (sometimes to DH's chagrin) but he also appreciates a deal.
As soon as I get the hang of blogging, I will post more about our "financial adventures."

I am a big blog fan of some of you! ThreeBean -- I will be retiring from full-time employment in 6 years. I have been saving for that day for a much longer time -- at least 20 years. Ralph -- I will post more about college -- my son is in community college in the area. In this state, community colleges are cheap! Imasaver -- I have always enjoyed reading your posts. BrokenArrow -- Love yours, too (posts that is). I, too, have had similar personal events -- and it all works out for the best! I have been remarried to a great guy for 12 years. I never would have met DH if ex-H had not wanted to go where the "grass was greener." My ex-H is now on wife #4. So........karma is the magic word.
Have a great day.....and keep on blogging!
