    Your World with Neil Cavuto

    Neil Cavuto was named anchor and managing editor of business news for the FOX News Channel in July 1996. We aren’t economists or business experts, but Neil wanted to talk to us about our frugal lifestyle and how others in America could benefit from some of the things we do.
    We were excited to have the opportunity to address his audience and give hope and encouragement to America.

    We've done a lot of interviews with a lot of producers. Most of them don't understand the real benefits of the frugal life. But the producer for this segment, Nicole Ullerich, really does. It was really refreshing to see her thinking through how she could apply some of the tips we shared with her so that she could save even more money each month. Go get 'em Nicole - you rock!

    The Frugals

    People Magazine


    December 15, 2008


    We aren't celebrities — never have been and never want to be. We just want to be a family who encourages the world that living simply and frugally creates a rewarding, fulfilling and fun life. It amazes us that people in the world are amazed at our lifestyle. We have fun and laugh a lot and they just can't figure out why. Is it possible that people who have all of the stuff that the world says really matters, are missing out on the things that stuff can't buy? Things like peace, joy and relationships?

    Frugality is definitely in vogue now — give it a try and people might just be fascinated with you too!
