Remember to share your frugal goals with family!
My Dearest Hubby has the sweetest grandmother….and the craziest. I love her to death. She reminds me of what I’m going to be like if I make it to 76. She is the mother of 5 and was married with her first child by the age of 17. Needless to say, she’s well versed in the language of frugality. Funny…
