Cathy is a frugal grandmother from New York.
What is your financial life?
I have been married to my husband for 30 years . I have a 19 year old son still at home and a 28 year old daughter, married with 1 son. My daughter and her husband lived with us for a few years while they got on their feet. We have a mortgage and a second mortgage. We also have credit card debt is that is approximately $6000. (Check out Tips to get out of debt) We are looking to retire in the next 5 years or so.
What is your budget buster?
Gas is getting so expensive. I have been really trying to watch my driving.
What is your favorite money saving tip?
I like a good bargain. I watch the sales, never pay for anything full price and often buy on clearance.
If you had an extra $1000 what would you do with it?
I would put it towards our credit card debt. I feel that is hanging over my head.
What is your best resource for frugal living?
Using my own common sense is my best resource. There are a lot of great sites on the internet for learning about money and saving.
