Hi. I've been lurking on this board (and a few others) for a few months now, and finally decided to create an account and start posting. I'm starting to realize that our financial situation is not as good as I thought it was, and I'm going to need some good suggestions.

A little background info (without sharing too much):

I am married with two kiddos. I am a teacher, but only part time as it's difficult to find a job in that field in my area. I live in a fairly low COL area. I will post a budget sometime this week so you all can help me out.

Welcome! How'd you find us?

I was on The Knot a looooong time ago, so I went to the Nest a few months ago and found MM there, and it was mentioned that this is a better forum, so here I am!

Thanks for all the welcoming words!

Follow up question: did you pick your screen name because of the minion post today or was that a total coincidence?

Total coincidence! That was actually the first post I opened after registering for an account, so I had to comment on it. LOL.
