Hi there, I’m Mary.
I’m passionate about helping people live below their means.
I’m a former overspender who learned the hard way how to turn things around. From maxing out credit cards to becoming debt-free, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others avoid the same mistakes I made. My journey includes paying off more than $100,000 in debt, which led me to create Everyday Cheapskate. Interested in how I got here?
