Cost of living raises can't keep up with inflation and everyone is looking for ways to streamline budgets and survive until a promised prosperous future arrives.

There one can find guides to resume writing, saving for the future, recycling and reusing, and dealing with the health insurance crisis. People can also submit their own ideas for living more sensibly and making the most out of every dollar earned, no matter their pay rate.
The site's owner, Susan Young, is comfortable teaching from her own financial endeavors, both successes and failures. In referencing a site about retirement planning she admits that "I really blew this one..." and further explains how buying a new car close to retirement had unwanted payment obligations that she didn't foresee. She does so to insure that others don't go down such a path unadvised. She later proudly admits that "I did do well with the credit card issue though." Considering how many people are now in debt with credit card companies that is no small feat.

When she finds something that has helped her she lists it on the site for everyone to see and benefit from.
