That is such good advice, it is very hard to live within our means in todays economical crisis. Everything is going up in price and families are struggling to make ends meet.
I am lucky in a lot of ways when it comes to saving money and shopping wisely, a very valuable lesson I learned from my late mother. She taught me to shop wisely, to put a few dollars away for a rainy day and live within my means. Nowadays though I look for lots of ways to make a bit of extra cash, mostly doing the things that I enjoy.
