Dawn from Frugal for Life does a weekly Quotes post. Among this week’s offerings is one of my favorites from Benjamin Franklin…
“Money can help you to get medicines, but not health.
Money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep.

One of the greatest benefits that the Internet has provided me was the opportunity to teach myself a new career when my old one grew tiresome. Through a couple of years of self-directed education, I was able to develop the skills and knowledge to become a web developer.

Nigel at the Red Ferret Journal recently pointed out a book swapping […]

There’s a fairly new magazine on the […]
Well, the festive season is upon us. My wife and I have never been the type of folks to do much for Christmas. We’ve tended to keep things simple with little or no decorations, minimal gifting and focussed more on just spending the time with our families.

About to jet off to some exotic locales and in need of getting a new passport for your trip? Well, don’t allow yourself to get ripped off in one of those passport photo shops.
