Drake Media Inc. is excited to announce the acquisition of Modern Tightwad, along with additional sites goberich.com, smartmoneyfocus.com, and diningoutchallenge.com, effective as of July 21, 2014.
Drake Media Inc. boasts a diverse portfolio of online publications and podcasts, including Canadian Finance Blog, Retire Happy, Create Hype, and Live Rich, Live Well. Modern Tightwad, founded by Andi Blackwell in 2009, has been refreshingly challenging the stereotypical notion of a tightwad with humour and practical advice.
About Modern Tightwad
Modern Tightwad is a blog that humorously tackles the topic of frugality while delivering effective personal finance tips and strategies. A Modern Tightwad is described as “a person who lives in a manner so that their income is greater than their expenses on a regular basis,” utilizing a variety of creative and sometimes extreme tactics, yet always acting with good manners and ethics. Founder Andi Blackwell, known as Mrs. Modern Tightwad, guides readers with a blend of financial wisdom, light-hearted commentary, and an array of practical tips to manage and enjoy life within one’s means. As Andi explains, “I don’t want this to be a blog about getting out of debt, it’s more about a happier way of life, enjoying a meal with my friends and family that doesn’t cost my firstborn (four-legged though he may be). It’s about being able to create a lifestyle that’s sustainable.” Modern Tightwad differentiates itself by fostering a frugal lifestyle that is both sustainable and enjoyable.
