Publisher
Teresa Mears is a publisher, writer and editor who was raised to be frugal. She was downsized in 2008 after nearly 30 years as an editor at newspapers ranging in size from the Portland (Tenn.) Leader to The Los Angeles Times and The Miami Herald, where she worked most recently. She moved to Florida in 1980 because it was the only place she could get a job during that recession and has lived in South Florida since 1985, in Miami, Hollywood and Fort Pierce. She also has lived on Florida’s Gulf Coast, in St. Petersburg and Inverness. In addition to publishing Miami on the Cheap, she writes about personal finance for other publications and is editor-in-chief of Living on the Cheap, a personal finance and lifestyle website that is the headquarters for all the On the Cheap websites. She previously was a writer for MSN Money and U.S. News & World Report. Contact her at teresa@miamionthecheap.com.
