In direct contrast to my recent post regarding the out-of-control credit card spending of the fictional Rebecca Bloomwood in Confessions of a Shopaholic, I’d like to introduce you to a young Tulsa couple who have turned their back on excessive consumerism and have embraced a life of frugality.
Meet Aaron and Natasha Ball. They began living at or below their means not long ago when they received news that a baby was on the way and they adjusted to living on one income. Now that baby Sam is here, the Balls have committed to continue living frugally and to teaching Sam about spending less and saving more.
Natasha writes a column in Urban Tulsa Weekly that offers money saving tips and is becoming a manual on how to get by in Tulsa during hard times. Her article The Going Gets Tough lets us in on many of the details in her and husband Aaron’s journey to frugality.
Natasha also publishes a blog called Tasha Does Tulsa in which she writes about Tulsa’s attractions and activities, many of which are free.
