Hi all, I discovered MMM in the fall of 2013 and have been a long time lurker of the forum ever since. I haven’t had a really compelling reason to register before, so I thought this would be as good a reason as any to finally join the fray.
Being that 2014 was the first full year since I discovered MMM (and a bunch of other similar blogs) I decided to compare my expenses in 2014 to my expenses in 2013 using Quicken. The result was over a $10,000 reduction in total expenses in 2014. This just blew me away; I have always been somewhat frugal (I’ve kept track of every dime of my finances using Quicken since 2004), so this just goes to show how much more can be accomplished with increased focus and dedication.
I’m excited to see what more can be done in the New Year. Thank you all for being a great community!
