Hi there! I am Trinity, your 45-year-old friend who is always on the lookout for smart ways to save money without sacrificing quality of life. A few years ago, I and my partner were at the bottom of the financial scale; we had to pay an enormous debt, rent, and a car lease. After a financial course I took during the pandemic, I learned to be more organized, use those coupons, watch for sales, and, most importantly, make every dollar count. Through my articles, I hope to help others stretch their budgets, reduce the splurge, and create a more secure financial future by sharing some useful advice, personal experience, and new concepts. See you around!
