Hi there
I kept up with this thread from lurkville throughout 2010 but with a baby due next month, I would love to be a more active participant in 2012. I have found this thread to be very helpful and inspirational - I hope you'll let me join in 2012.

Thank you to all of you who've posted great ideas here.

I am selling my car next week, so feel that's a step in the right direction....

Please put me down again for 2012. 2011 has seen some personal changes including being made redundant from my full time job. Am now working 2 part time jobs on a self employed basis with a sufficient drop in income for us to qualify for WTC for the first time ever. My challenge for 2012 will be for me to make my reduced budget stretch even further. I always learn so much from these threads.

Welcome to frugaldom, guys and gals, I've added the most recent names to the list of challengers and hope you'll all manage to stick with the frugal pla for a whole year. It's not easy and we see many quitters within the first 3 months so it should help to know that getting past month 3 without falling off the money saving wagon is the most difficult, in my experience.

Good luck.

Sorry, we can't get out of stuff that easily, I have too much planned for 2013 and onwards. :rotfl: I'm sure our calenders will continue beyond 2012 and the earth will continue to spin, clocking up debts (or savings). If not, you can have half my millions. :rotfl:

Can I join please, I'm on a very low income and need to save to get my mortgage paid off and debts paid off (not too high-the debts I mean) so need encouragement to keep going and stop wasting the little money I do have.

I'm in for 2012. Will be working on our budget over the next few days.
