Who is Fox?
My name is Kerry K. Taylor and I’m the blogger behind Squawkfox.com. I initially started writing as “Fox” because I’m generally shy and wanted a sly name to have some fun here. I decided to reveal my identity after writing the book 397 Ways To Save Money because someone’s name had to go on the cover. Smirk.
I have a diverse educational background ranging from journalism to computer science. I dabble in photography. I love red shoes. I’m also a bit of an athlete as I’m a two-time Ironman Triathlon finisher - yes, Ironman is an insane sport.
I started Squawkfox.com at the urging of my friends, who wanted to know how I managed to live on less but have more to show for it. My husband Carl just wanted me to stop squawking to him excitedly about saving by telling others how we do it.
Squawkfox.com chronicles my sense of humor with money and life. Since paying off $17,000 of debt in six months and saving a six-figure portfolio I quit my life in the city and moved to an organic farm in British Columbia with my husband, Carl, and our mutt, Pivo. I love sharing my frugal ways with you.

@Sharon and Cal Thank you so much! I’m always thrilled to meet more frugal friends.
Totally dig your site. Just found it via the resume guide series from a link on Twitter.
I look forward to learning how to be frugal in a sexy fun and delicious way.
Cheers,
Missy.
love the site! keep the good content coming.
Nice site. The problem with a lot of society is that when they get a better job they tend to get a bigger house, a better car and buy more stuff.
The key to wealth is to guard your income and to invest this income carefully. Live below your means and invest hard to build up your wealth so you can escape the rat race.
well frugality means happiness indeed, not just because you’ll save (anything from health, money etc…) but mainly because it brings about happiness.
Actually quality matters not quantity;
Great and refreshing site

Hello Kerry! What I want to know is, can we get the new book here in the UK?
I receive your emails and look forward to reading them each time. Thanks for all the great info. Was great reading the more personal info about you, Carl and Pivo. Keep on blogging and continued success to you!
Hi Kerry. I am just curious. What jobs were you and your husband working when you paid off your debt and started saving hard?
