Summary

Eight years ago today we started a podcast about saving money and somehow it turned into a movement. For 8 years, Frugal Friends has been helping people spend intentionally, save wisely, and push back against a culture of overconsumption. So for our 8th year anniversary, we want to share how frugal friends have impacted you and give you a chance to shape the future of Frugal Friends.
