I am a paralegal in Denver, CO who graduated college about 2 1/2 years ago (Bach in Environmental Science). I also have my Paralegal Certificate that my company paid for. I'm married, my dh and I went a little nuts after college and now we are paying all of that off.
I actually came across this site when I started researching more ways of being frugal and it seemed like something I should keep in mind while aggressively paying debts and ramping up retirement savings. Despite the 1 1/2 year spending craze we went through, I have been frugal most of my life and had already started to look at ways to save for retirement. Mainly because I realized I couldn't possibly save enough in a Roth IRA for retirement (I don't have access to a 401(k) though we are getting the max match in my dh's 401(k) and starting a Roth IRA for him as well).
So don't mind me, I will just be snooping a little to figure out how to proceed once we are finished with the credit cards and the down payment for a house (this should be finished next winter).
