This list is for people without children who live (or want to live) a frugal lifestyle. There are lots of lists for parents who are frugal and it can sometimes be a challenge to wade through the child-specific advice to find the general frugal tips!

Whether you've never had kids, had them and they've left the nest or just haven't had them yet you are welcome here.

This list is NOT a place to discuss religious or infertility issues, homesteading, disaster preparation, or politics of any kind. There are plenty of other email lists and message boards for these topics.
