*2/1/2016 Girl Gone Frugal has changed its name to The D.O.N.E. Society*
Today I share a gem of an interview with Mrs. Frugalwoods from www.frugalwoods.com. The wonderful couple were recently interviewed for Forbes Magazine (interview went “live” last week). And are the more zen option to Mr. Money Mustache.
Technical Issues: There are a couple of points in the interview where I get so excited I talk over (read: interrupt) poor Mrs. Frugalwoods who was endlessly patient with my enthusiasm. I apologize for that in advance. Also, there are about 3 moments where the sounds fades out just a touch. Just giving you a “head’s up.”

Yehey! My two favorite bloggers in one podcast. Congrats on having Frugalwoods!
You’re so nice. Mrs. Frugalwoods ROCKS!! I had a really good time talking to (and…ahem..over) Mrs. Frugalwoods. She offered a really awesome level of insight into how she and Mr. Frugalwoods make things happen.
Thank you so much for having me on, Michelle! I had so much fun during our interview–I think we could’ve chatted for hours ;)!
I had a great time “hanging out with you!” Can’t wait to meet you at FinCon and yes-I could have talked to you for hours LOL!
