First I want to thank you so much for visiting Saving Dollars and Sense! My name is Kristie and I began a journey years ago to get free from debt, many have decided to join me on their own journey’s and that is how this site was born. You can read more about me here.
I realize that there is a lot to take in here and it can become a little overwhelming, especially if this is your first time visiting. So I wanted to put together this page to help you find your way through all the great information there is to find here and make the most of the site.
It has always been my desire to help others navigate their way on their own frugal journey to find financial freedom, I share more about my personal Story of Grace here.
Please keep in mind that I am learning as I go along with you, I have not “arrived” but I have learned a few things that work as well as many that don’t in my journey. We are all on our own unique journeys, so not everything I share here will work for you. So take what does work for you and use it, but please don’t feel burdened to follow every single thing if it doesn’t work for your family.
