Learn How to Recession Proof Your Finances

These penny pincher pages will show you how to deal with bills and debt and still have a life.

Our world runs on money and therefore holds a lot of power.

I look at money three different ways

1. It buys freedom. Freedom from the boss, bills, house payments, etc.
2. It offers security. If there's money in the bank, you know your bills will be paid and there will be food on the table.
3. It's said that money can't buy happiness. But, it sure can buy your way out of financial misery and if you're a happy person to begin with, money is icing on the cake.

So, how do we become a penny pincher and learn to manage our money? Especially during these uncertain economic times.
