What it is...

I've tried to start blogs in the past, much to no avail, but hopefully this time is different. I no longer have television (or at least anything beyond the network channels my soon-to-arrive digital antenna will provide) so I have a lot more USEFUL time on my hands, thus the inception of this blog. I aim to save money in all arenas of my life, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. It started out with the decision to move into my own apartment instead of getting a roommate, but has quickly evolved into an experiment of "How much do I really need?," "How much should I pay?," "How much can I save?," and, my favorite, "How much can I DO with what I HAVE?" There are so many opportunities out there to save money instead of spend it, and I want to (reasonably) find as much as I can.

Warning: This is not a crazy coupon or frugal finds blog where I have a super strict budget or have a goal of "screwing The Man." This is just a little journey that I'm chronicling in an effort to be more economical but not be boring!
