Squawkfox.com is about making frugal living sexy, delicious, and fun. It’s about how living simply, spending wisely, and investing intelligently impacts your health, wealth, and self. If you make money, have debt, have a career, eat food, buy stuff, have investing questions, or just need a laugh then this blog is for you! If you fit in any of these categories, then you will find value in these digital pages. So welcome, it’s really nice to meet you! Who is Fox? I am the author of this blog. I have a diverse educational background ranging from journalism to computer science. I dabble in photography. I love red shoes. I started this blog because I believe no one cares about your money more than you, so it’s important to learn about money matters and to be honest about where you stand financially. Some stuff about me: * I have saved and invested six figures by living frugally. * I used to live in the city. Now I live on an organic farm. * I am a two-time Ironman Triathlon finisher. * I love to mesh topics of health and wealth. * I wear pigtails and ignore most fashion rules. * I write highly technical manuals for programmers. * I have a wicked sense of humor.
