Welcome Home!

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog! Some background on why I started it:

I'm an avid reader of personal finance-related blogs, as I love to find new ways to save money. I don't make very much, so everything I earn is valuable, and everything I spend must be done so wisely. Since most of my spending goes to houseld bills and repairs/upgrades on the house itself, I searched for a blog or info site that combined the thrills and perils of homeownership with the joy of getting a good deal. I couldn't find one, so I dubbed myself the Thrifty Homeowner and started my own.

The blog will document the work I do on my own house, which will be a springboard for
- ways to save on repairs
- ways to maximize efficiencies
- thoughts on real estate in general
- great deals in the marketplace
- anything else related to owning a home that can affect your wallet

PLEASE comment and get involved. I hope this becomes something of a forum, as I'd love to know what's on your mind and what I should blog about. In the future I'll be looking for some guest bloggers, so start thinking of some ideas.

Thanks!
