For those who don’t know, my wife Christina is the Northern Cheapskate, blogging about family budgeting, money-saving tips and personal finance. She got a great write-up in Kara McGuire’s Star Tribune “Ka Ching” column in the Money section today. Check it out. Here’s the setup, which is followed by several specific tips that Christina suggested for families to save money:
Several of the best ideas came from Christina Brown, also known as the Northern Cheapskate (www.northerncheapskate.com).
She’s traded her career as an academic adviser to be a full-time mom whose new job includes not only taking care of her 2-year-old and 10-month-old sons, but also stretching dollars. “As my toddler says, ‘Daddy makes money, mommy saves it,’ ” she said.
Good for Christina! She has a very nice blog. I’ve shared it with a few people who also like it.
