Hello, and Welcome to My Journey to Making My First Few Years on My Own Debt-Free!
Now a little background information.
I live in Canada and although we have free healthcare we also have a lot of poverty and not a lot of work. My family was always frugal when I was growing up as my mom was a very young mother who hadn't finished a lot of her schooling. My hometown used to be thriving but as of late is has died. The refineries are shutting down, oil production is a mystery, malls and local shops are closing and call centers seem to have taken over.
Fresh out of high school, looking for work and hoping to get a place of my own to call home I have decided to live as cheaply and as cost effective as I can. With the help of my boyfriend I intend to explore every avenue of frugal living. These topics will include growing my own food, or at least some of it, thrift store shopping for things from clothes to appliances, doing my own tailoring and savings money where I can.
I created this blog for a few reasons to document my journey, to help others like myself to start off and stay debt free, document my successes and failures and also get help from people who have learned from their journey.
In preparation I have watched many, MANY indoor gardening videos, taken home-ec classes and have researched and created budgets to make sure I can do this as effectively as possible.
Time to get started!
