Frugalites view the name of Amy Dacyczyn with reverence. Her newsletter, the Tightwad Gazette, and succeeding books, have had a favorite place in my own library for years. But after Dacyczyn (pronounced "decision") retired from the TWG in the 1990s, she kind of dropped off the map. Not that you can blame her; it's no fun for a private person to be pestered and asked for advice so often. And she said they'd stashed away enough money to live peaceably -- plus send their six kids to school.
I've always wondered how things were going with the Dacyczyn family, now their older children are in their twenties. And I was curious what their home looked like. Lo and behold, I just stumbled across a link to a recent video interview with Amy! Here it is, complete with photos of their home and a tour of Amy's office. Enjoy.
Her Tightwad Gazette still continues to sell well, more than a decade after the book first went in print.
