This blog has been organically taking shape, even so, my initial objective has always been to give an honest view of how a couple of 30-something working artists, my husband and myself, are living their newly found spend conscious lives in the oh-so-spend-enticing San Francisco Bay Area. This isn’t CNNMoney—we don’t get too financially technical over here. Also, I feel it is important to note that we are not starving artists. Both of us have creative careers that provide us a somewhat steady middle-class income. Yet we have a mountain of debt to pay off, so it is still going to be an uphill battle. We’re planning to take it day by day, though, and enjoy our lives. -Sarah
