Hi,
I’m a longtime lurker and finally decided to join in. I am almost 40, married with 2 kids, and am employed F/T as a tenured university professor. We live in the country so are dependent on our vehicles to get to work, get groceries, etc. eat primarily vegetarian meals, workout in our home gym, and use the local library a lot. I really like sewing clothes and in 2023 my goal is to finish unfinished projects and use up my fabric stash rather than buying more new stuff. I’d also like to knit a lopi sweater for outdoor adventures. We really enjoy hiking and being outside as a family so eventually I’d like to make each of us a sweater or two.
Last night I finished a review of my spending over the last year and while we did well in groceries I think we could spend less. I was also shocked at how much I spent on gas (over $4000) and silly things like online subscriptions. My plan for the year ahead is to track every expense as I go and spend less money.
Looking forward to becoming part of this awesome community.
