It’s a great site full of tips, tricks and information anyone will find useful. For those that have already read several books on personal finance, the witty and delightful commentary along with the articles and tips is an excellent compliment to things you are already doing.

Many are facing mounting debt and still want to be able to save, it was a great article. With all the budgeting and personal finance information I come across, I try to take something from each. I really enjoy the perspectives from all the different authors and the fact that they tell you a little about each., which some sites don’t do. I haven’t tried the diy projects yet, but plan to once I have my list of projects cut down.
