About MrsFrugalista

 

 I am a happily married mother of three residing on the east coast. I’m 32 years old. In my regular occupation I work in the mortgage business. I enjoy it very much, however plan to go back to school this year to finish my degree in Criminal Justice. I work part time in an awesome retail store, mainly to pay down debt that we have aquired.

My three children are  12, 10, and 8. They are loving and a handful at times. :)

In my 32 years of life, I have learned a lot. But with my years has come wisdom. I’m not perfect by any means. But my goal for my life is to live a life I can be proud of and to be able to reach out and to help others in whatever ways I can.

I have overcome so many obstacles in my 32 years of life. Some obstacles I still work on a daily basis. I must frequently remind myself how far I have come and how proud I should be of myself and I am.

I look at my savings and my debt payoff and I am amazed and proud. Sometimes I remember that just 2 years ago, I was homeless without a steady job, no money, no car and no plan. Two years previously to that point, cumiliated my downfall and I had reached rock bottom.  I had no direction and no hope. I had no one to help. All, I had left was to go to my church family. I hadn’t attended in over 2 years. However, I was still a member. I came in on a Sunday morning and said, I have nothing. I have no where to go and I need help. They saved my life when no one else would reach out their hand to me. My church family loved me when no one else did, or  at least that it what it felt like. I know there was my family who loved me, and for whatever reasons couldn’t help me. I will never forget what my church did for me and my life. They started the transformation of my life and I will be eternally greatful. I will never forget what they have done. I think that is what Christ is about. Helping others. What they did for me, may sound so simple. But, it was LIFE CHANGING. Don’t ever under-estimate what your actions or words can do for others. Reach Out to others when you can. Something might sound so little to you, but could mean the world to others and can start the transformation in someones life.

I can honestly say that in this point in my life, I have the best life I have ever had. I have a wonderful husband, a nice home, I am employed with two jobs that I like, I have loving children who are graced with forgiveness and love for their mother.

I look around my home some evenings (when I’m not working my 2nd job) and sometimes I cry. Oh my goodness, I have a roof over my head. *mrsfrugalista starts to cry typing this* I have a kitchen to make food. I live in a safe enviroment. I don’t have to worry about not having a home.  I have achieved peace and security that I longed for, for so very long. I am so incredibly blessed with my life.

There is of course things I would like to change, like not suffering from depression… But, I am doing what I need to do to treat that and life the best life I can and be proud of.

I just hope one day, I can help others in the way that I was helped in my life. That will be so gratifying for me.
