I live in Montréal with my Fiancé and our two teenaged kids.
In September 2008, I was laid off from my full-time (dead-end, mind-numbing, soul-sucking) job as a corporate Receptionist. Now, I certainly was not making mountains of money, but it was a thousand dollars more (per month) than I’m bringing in now (on Employment Insurance).
My Fiancé works as a Shipper/Receiver at a major Canadian bookstore, and while he works his sweet fanny off (and genuinely likes his job and the company) it’s not a huge wage by any means.
We’re poor.
We’re resourceful.
We’re cute.
This blog is about living happily on less. Period.
