Although I recently graduated and was able to procure a great job, I have found it hard to shake the student mentality. My goal is to live on half of my income and pay my student loans off, as well as have an equal amount of savings in two years. I created this blog to track my progress and to ponder some of the more interesting things that I see available for purchase while I’m out and about.

spinning wheel
At the moment I have neither a car nor a TV, but I do have a lovely spinning wheel which I nabbed off of Craigslist for $100. Fiber arts can be about as economical or as expensive as you want to make them. Right now I’m working on spinning up a pound and a half of mystery oatmeal-colored wool and a chocolate brown alpaca fleece.
