So, you may have stumbled accross this blog and are wondering what it is about. Basically I want to share my tips and secrets to saving money and retaining a certain living standard in these difficult economic times.
Who am I? I am not a tertiary educated economist living the single life in a beautiful apartment in the inner city, like a lot of people I am a parent of young children living in the mortgage belt of Sydney with homes either being firesaled before the mortgage providers can get their hands on them or being foreclosed and sold up by the banks in just about every street around me.
When the economy was booming and interest rates were low saving $100-$200 a week wouldn't have been that interesting to most but suddenly things have taken a downward spiral, unemployment figures are up in today's reports and things are only going to get tougher.
I will be adding a new post on a daily basis about ways I save money and hopefully they will help you as well.
