Hey, all. I was on the old forum as Gizmo. Wasn't able to post for a while since I moved, and ending up with a 3 hour commute. That contract ended, now I've got a much more reasonable commute, and have time to post again! I didn't even realize the forum had moved!
Anyway, end of last summer I ended up leaving a job I hated. I moved in with my boyfriend - into what turned out to be a he##-hole apartment, and got a contract job that was AWESOME but had a killer commute. Now I'm on another contract job, that I HATE (again!), but its close enough I can bike to work.
My BF and I found a NICE rental house right around the corner from our awful apartment, for the same price. Unfort, the two moves so close together, plus the downpayment and stuff on our new place almost has our emergency fund wiped out.
I'd like to get back into budgeting and simple living now that I have time again, and build our emergency fund back up!
Hello again!
