About
Hi. My name is Lisa Spinelli, and welcome to my blog.
This blog is an interactive discussion site - mainly about personal finance and current events. I encourage you to please leave your comments - either publicly or privately. I enjoy hearing from everyone, whether I agree with you or not! Your response will always have the respect it deserves.
I’ve been blogging for over a year now. I started this site on Blogger in January, 2008. It wasn’t long before I became quite obsessed with it, and decided to make the switch over to WordPress/DreamHost in March, 2008.
Frugality, Personal Finance, left-winger Politics, and Sustainability are long time interests of mine, and you’ll find many articles about each of these topics here.
I blog to interact with others that are working to create a stable, secure life financially - without compromising important values.
Other notes about me-
I’m happily married for almost two years now, to Pamela (you’ve gotta love Massachusetts!)
I have two, absolutely primo, highly spirited, highly intelligent “just-turned-adult” step-daughters, and two rambunctious dogs who together weigh no more than 20 lbs., Pete and Babette.
I live about an hour north of Boston, in a small coastal resort town called Newburyport.
In my off hours, I spend time blogging - what else?!, walking my dogs, reading on the beach, gardening, and drinking lots of coffee at the downtown Starbucks.
I have recently become mesmerized by the installation of a windmill - are they called wind turbines now? -by one of the local businesses.
I work in the biotechnology industry as a technical service specialist.
Other Interests include the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots, Psychology, Fair Trade, and the global economy.
