Saving Money

If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving,
you do not actually live longer, it just seems longer.
Clement Freud

How to live well for less ...

Saving money takes time and effort, but there are many small changes you can make to your lifestyle which can make a surprising difference to the cost of everyday living.

Some people are resistant to many money saving possibilities because they see them as penny-pinching ideas reminiscent of the depression era, but many of them are worthwhile in environmental as well as monetary terms. For example, water is a very precious commodity and the more of it you save the more there is for the whole community to share .

And saving a few dollars on a regular basis could turn you into a wealthy woman!

Money Management for Women by Sheila Freeman and Helene Richards, contains a wealth of ideas on saving money and covers all aspects of budgeting and managing your personal finances.
