Welcome, interweb stranger! We’re Johnny and Joanna. And that chubby little chubster waving is our little girl, Sally. We write about the joys, pains, and realities of living on a budget. We also write about cats, zombie apocalypses, and LeVar Burton. While we try to keep things as coherent as possible, we suspect that being new parents is slowly driving us insane. But we’ve never loved anything or anyone so much, insanity and all.
Peruse the articles below to get our take on different money-related topics that we write about when our baby’s in bed and our cat is snoring through her sixth nap of the day.
