Frugal Living for Families | Become a Stay-at-Home Mom, Saving Money, Get out of Debt, Easy Budgeting, Single-Income Strategies
Hey Mom!
* Is your heart nudging you to be a stay-at-home mom, but it feels impossible to make it work as a single-income family?
* Does your debt keep piling up and you just can’t seem to get ahead, no matter how hard you try?
* Do you have loved ones that desperately need more of your time and care, but you feel the pressure of having to earn an income?
* Are you crushed by the mom guilt of not being able to provide everything your family needs (time, money, etc.) in this season?
Hi, my name is Mandy Lewis, and I have been where you are. I have learned many strategies that have helped me give up my full-time income and care for the needs of my family while also digging out of debt. I want to help you save money, find the resources you need, get out of debt, and be able to stay home with your family. As a lover of all things free and thrifty, I can teach you exactly how to build a frugal family framework so you can stay home and not only survive, but actually thrive.
Together, we’ll go through your mindset, family communication, budgeting, reducing your expenses, saving money, getting out of debt, and even learning to make money creatively. Learn how to care well for your family, have the resources you need, get rid of what you don’t need, and even have time to care for you. Living frugally is going to transform the peace and presence that you experience in your family, in your home, and in your own heart as a stay-at-home mom.
So, reach your hand into those crumb-infested couch cushions, grab those loose quarters, and let’s get saving.
