Even if you don’t employ these families strategies for everyday living, it should be inspiring to see how others live on less.

    Excellent article - thanks for sharing! It reminded me of when my sons were young, money was tight, and I used to cut up my husband’s old shirts to make the boys their summer clothes :) These tips would’ve come in handy!
