Hi, I’m Mallory Bacon, blogger. Our little family of 3 lives on the northwest side of Chicago. I don’t claim to be a financial expert by any means; I’m in the trenches with you all trying to figure out how to best manage our resources. I’m just here to share things I’m learning along the way on this tumultuous journey called “Budgeting.” Because despite the trendy last name, I’m actually turning out to be quite thrifty.
