Hi all I'm new here (obviously). I stumbled on this site tonight looking for tips to save money as I recently became unemployed and I'm looking for some major life changes and thinking of working PT and going to school (or if I can figure it out working odd jobs and mostly staying home and going to school). So I'm simplifying life big time!!!

I have one daughter who is in elementary school (she's 9 OMG and getting so big).

Oh and my real name is Kari...

I can't think of anything else right now but HI

Welcome!!

Thanks for the welcomes. I forgot to mention I live in the Downriver area (for any of you from MI). Right by Lake Erie Metro Park... I just moved there to an little apartment where we can literally walk there... lots of money to save this summer walking to the metro park and fishing and things

Ooooohhh!!! I'm from Downriver, too. I grew up in and graduated from Riverview High School. Our Senior Skip Day was spent at LE Metro Park. Very good memories of summers at the lake.
