Hey there! My name is Melissa. I’m a Community Relations Specialist at The Penny Hoarder. My primary financial goal is to pay off my credit cards!! Credit cards can be amazing but they make it so stinking easy to over spend. A follow up goal of mine, is to track my spending on paper each month and stick to a limit. This way I’ll remember each credit card swipe and hopefully I won’t rack up credit card debt like this again!

Hi! I’m Nicole from Canada. I’m a stay at home mom that loves to save money, couponing & contesting (sweepstaking). My goals are to live debt-free while life keeps sending us curveballs that use up all our savings so that we need to start again. I like to save money for camping & travelling too.

Hey Nicole how do you plan on becoming financially free? Do you have a coach or a community that is not online to keep you accountable? Do you have the tools needed to make your dreams and goals come true?

Hi Nathan,

Do you have any suggestions of apps or tools? So far, I keep accountable to my family & bank account.

My situation is a little different…I used to work in the financial industry actually. I’m a SAHM because I have a son with medical needs. Like most parents, I will spend any money it takes for my son to be healthy & happy. So our lives detour but we were still able to get lots of trips in last year as well as the unexpected 3 weeks hospital stay without incurring any debt or dipping into retirement savings.

Hi Fellow Hoarders of Pennies! My name is Ray Taylor Tetreault. I’m a retired savvy senior shopper (and saver) in the Cleveland Ohio area. I’ve been a “conversation starter” on Facebook’s Penny Hoarder Community for a while and really enjoy communicating with like-minded individuals. My wife and I have recently become (almost) debt-free with the exception of paying our car in a few months and a five year plan to rid our mortgage. I have a huge database of tips, tricks, treats, tweaks and tools to present to you. Take what you need and leave the rest… there are no one-size-fits-all plans. Looking for resources? Hit me up! The only dumb questions are the ones that are not asked. With THAT said… let’s chat!!!

I’m a TPH OG – I’ve been with the company for over three years now! – and I’ve learned a TON about personal finance from working here.

I’m new here. We just scaled our house down. Moved from a house
that was 2100 square feet up and down in the basement and a hough
lot to a little over 1,000 square feet. The house is only 703 square feet
We will own this in 10 years instead of 30 years. Next year we will be down
to 2 kids hubby and myself and 2 my be 3 dogs.

I’m looking to pay my credit cards off and my home.
I’m disabled and so my husband. I’m his care taker and i do get paid
for this. But looking for some side hustles to help pay bills and debt
off faster.

I’m looking forward to learning from this site.

Hello,

I have been an avid follower of the Penny Hoarder Facebook group for many years and have tried quite a few of the suggestions posted. From no spend months, cell phone plans that are less expensive than name brand national carriers, to robo investing options. I am a 40 something mom who will have a college freshman next fall and am looking forward to suggestions/posts. I work full time (Accountant) so am good with money, but really enjoy all of the ways people have found to save!

Hello, everyone. I’m Jana. I’m a brand new blogger. I have a money-saving blog with discussions and resources on how to save money by getting freebies and winning prizes online. I’ve saved so much money doing this, and love to share how with others. My financial goals are aimed at being able to reduce my work hours (at my ‘outside’ full-time job) in 2019 and to be able to quit that full-time job in the future.

Understandable yes I can help you with your action plan.

Great website but may I state that hope is not a strategy. How do you plan on driving traffic to your site? What is your goal to get rid of your debt? What is the timeline for creating your book? All great things you are stating in your postl. Your site is really good you have a great niche. Just wondering if you need help getting your website off the ground with some money. Let me know if you want to connect and discuss an action plan to make things happen for you.
