I have been perusing personal finance (PF) blogs for about 4 months now. I've found several ones that I enjoy reading and many that have achieved their goals to be debt-free or are close to it. So far I have only found one whose situation I can relate to. Single Mom, Single Money is just like the title, a single mother trying to achieve financial freedom on a single income while raising her child.
I'm happy for all of those who've scaled back their lifestyles and made the commitment to achieving a debt-free life. I love reading the posts that are written by those who have actually done it. I'm thankful for their advice as I begin my journey and glad they are sharing their knowledge so that I can learn from them.
However, I'd like to find more people like me. People who have a lower income, people going back to school mid-life, people who are already cutting back on extra's because they need to in order to survive. Where are these people? Are they just not out there blogging about it? Or is it next to impossible to become debt-free for those making less than $25,000 per year?

I recommend Gluten Free Frugal:

She isn't exactly what you're looking for, but very close.
They are a single income family (Working mom, stay at home Dad) with 3 kids (just had 3rd). First two kids can't have gluten (hence the title) so she provides many great recipes.
The Frugal part comes enters because as you know, its very difficult to make ends meet with kids on a single income (heck, it can be tough with two incomes).
But thanks to their frugalness, they are using the debt snowball method to pay off debt.
This is one of my favorite blogs because they seem more "real" than most of the PF bloggers out there.
Plus GFF is located in here in our back yard, so that makes it easier to relate to as well.
So make sure to check it out:

Oh and I'll probably get fired if I don't throw a plug out there for www.thehappyrock.com
