Hello there, I read so much about frugality and being frugal myself I can say I am proud of how I manage my lifestyle. During such a bad recession I am glad I am not trapped with all sort of debts (only mortage $98.000 CND). I learned so much from you ladies, all your tips are very valuable. I...

So my dh is one of those people that would be happier not knowing, but with all the bad news about the economy he's finally listening. He wants us to make the stockpile bigger and is going to reorganize his shed, then we will move the xmas decorations from the laundry room out to the shed. That...

Are you over involved, under involved or not involved at all? Right now I'm not involved at all, but am seriously wanting to get involved. My problem is I have to be very careful, otherwise I tend to get over involved and don't enjoy what I'm doing and become very stressed out. There is a...

If so, what are they? Do you do them often or just every now and then?
