We are a married couple in our early 30s living in a 600 square foot cottage two hours north of New York City.
After surviving job loss, relocation from Boston, and a return to college we are determined to get out of debt and save a 6-month emergency fund by 12/12/12.

Last year, 51% of our net income went towards our debt!
We hope to do even better this year, thanks our recent downsize from 2500 square feet and our ongoing "gazelle intensity!"

He is a talented executive chef who spends his limited free time gardening, fishing, and foraging to help create delicious, healthy meals with a $150/ mo food budget...while dreaming of Michelin stars in the city.
Along the way, we have both learned the value of frugality and living simply, and together we would love to share our experiences, ideas, and recipes with others.
Thank you for reading!
