Hello all!
My name is Alexis. I was born and raised in Maryland but moved to Pennsylvania after college.
If you ask anybody who knows me, I did it all right. I did everything I was supposed to do in the order I was supposed to do it in. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology, I bought a house, and I got a good job with healthcare and great benefits – all before I was 25.
But if you asked me, I was miserable.
When I was 28, I realized I had plateaued. I was ready to move on from my house, I didn’t love, or really even like, my job, and I was ready for something different. My “back to reality” depression hit hard every time real life came knocking again.
Then I heard about blogging, and I was curious. But what could I blog about? What was I good at? And most importantly, what made me happy?
Being a single, female homeowner at the age of 23 taught me more than I ever thought possible about being intentional with my money, my time, and my knowledge.
So I started The Frugal Dreamer for three reasons:
- To share my knowledge with those that are constantly asking me “how do you do it?”
- To create something that was all my own and made me happy
- To push myself (way) out of my comfort zone
I wanted to challenge the normal route and I wanted to challenge myself.
Every day is a new lesson for me and I hope I can not only learn many more, but also share that knowledge with others who are in need of it.
Thank you for visiting The Frugal Dreamer.
If you have any questions (or just want to say hi), please feel free to contact me.
