aBout uS

I am a widowed Mother of 3 & Nana of 10 of the most extraordiannary , ordinary people in the world.  I have a passion for helping others to live their best lives, without breaking their banks.  The world has become a place where we're spending all of our money, with so very little return.  Our young people. for the most part, are left on their own to try to stretch their money to cover all of their needs.  It's nearly impossible to do, when the cost of living has risen so dramatically.  Compared to when I was first raising a family, it is beyond ridiculous!  So, this blog/forum is here, so that we may all be the village that helps one another to figure out all of the ways we can make our dollars stretch farther.  Perhaps not even spend them at all, yet still have first class resources, so we may spend what we have on what it must be spent on.  Here, you'll find low or NO-cost resources for more than you'd ever imagine.

I've spent SO much time researching, finding the best of the BEST sites and resources for us all.  I can't wait to share what I've found with you!  WHether you're a student, a parent, or a small business owner, there's SO much here for you!  Maybe you're like me, always finding new & creative ways to save, while not sacrificing quality of life.  If so, please share what you've  learned.  If we all share our finds with one another, this forum will become a great resource for so may people!  I can't wait to see what you'll bring to the table!
