Well, I ended up looking for "freebies" as a hobby as a SAHM. Now that I'm recently single and my income has been literally cut in half--and then some--I'm having to do some serious budgeting, so here I am.
It all began when I start "couponing". Ha. It's funny using that as a verb. But, I did sign up at two different sites that have coupon trains. And I took complete control of the food budget of our house and started saving DH and I lots of money each month.
Then, I discovered the wealth of free items--and scams--on the web. It didn't take me long to figure out which offers were legit and which offers were too good to be true; I've been hooked every since.
So, now that I've separated from my husband, I going about this more seriously and tracking my savings more stringently. I've even saved enough in the last six weeks to buy most of the furniture I need for my new apartment, just with coupons and rebates on items I was already planning on buying.
My goal after paying for the divorce is to somehow start saving some money. I'll be done with school in 24 months, so I'm not going to have a real salary until then, but I know I should be able to start saving something!!!
How I got here.
