*2/1/2016 Girl Gone Frugal has had a name change. It’s now called The D.O.N.E. Society.*
I really enjoyed interviewing Derek from www.derekandcarrie.com for a couple of reasons.
- I love that he and his wife Carrie traveled and worked with their toddler daughter all across the U.S. Parents can still pursue what’s right for them while actively parenting.
- Derek and Carrie’s mission is to encourage couples to have better conversations about money. Something that is integral to having and maintaining a healthy relationship.
- He and I had similar experiences working too long at jobs that we basically hated-even though we liked our co-workers and clients.
Derek who I interview Girl Gone Frugal Episode 9 poses some very profound questions that I grappled with myself. I encourage think about how you would answer these questions and continue to focus on your happiness.
