This comment from MoneyMagnet;

'The sun will rise and the earth will turn regardless of the state of any economy.' is a worry in itself......

Unfortunately I don't think so if the whole world doesn't make an effort in some small or large part whatever any individual or group can do will help as long as we all make an effort. You know I watched a doco on TV a while back about the ocean's east west conveyor as I remember it was called. It said that it had slowed down so much over t… Continue

Hey Honour, I haven't heard bad things about it, but that doesn't mean it's not a waste of money! Just like a diet or exercise regime, there's no secret solution other than having the right attitude toward it. There's no point signing up to the gym if you only go a few times and there's no point eating Jenny Craig food if you pig out on Maccas on the weekend. Likewise, there's no point signing up to a money saving site unless you have the right attitude toward money, and if you do, then you probably don't need to sign up. Kind of a Catch-22. You could start saving straight away ($27) by NOT signing up.

The beauty of the web is that there's heaps of good quality info around for FREE. There's no need to pay for it.

Thankyou for sharing with me Wow I am fortunate and I am very sorry to hear of your story and how difficult it is for you I am always searching and (without offense) God willing can still work for a good while longer but of course my body is slowing down too. Have been looking at a guy who is a para who has set up a business lending money and paying a good return Not necessarily saying this is what anyone can do but he has had the situation where he has found a way to continue earning a better income. At present I am working as a Nurse so do have some insights into your problem. I keep thinking when I shop that if I were smart enough or had more contacts I would set up community purchasing as you are not wrong in that it costs an arm and a leg for food these days. I am very fortunate still but see someone like yourself and think it might well be me so I am looking to learn as much as I can so that I can look after things if and when I am not able to work so much. There has to be another way. thanks again for your comment and sharing with me. If your pictures are the ones on the video above thankyou they are very beautiful. Best wishes Linda.

Hello This is all new for me I have always paid my credit card in full every month except for lately when I am looking at a different way to do things. It is easy if you are willing to go without other things. Scrimpting at the supermarket is part of the deal though.
