Remember the American Dream? Wast it just a dream of prosperity and a white picket fence? The American middle class, who bought into it, seem to be vanishing as fast as their mortgages. In 1970, GM was the largest American employer of high school educated people with an average wage of $17.50 an hour. Today, 38 years later, Wal-mart is the nation’s largest employer. Average wage? $9.00 an hour.

Why Anti-Consumerism? Isn’t that Anti-American?

I grew up in a very frugal home. My parents paid cash for used cars, and we lived in older homes with small mortgages that were well within their means. My folks always had money for important things like health insurance, glasses, or emergency travel. They had what we used to call a depression mentality, and as a young person, I struggled against it. Of course, I wanted a better bike, a fancier bedroom set, and more clothes that had not come from my older sister.

American Are Still Losing Their Homes

This is a pretty painful subject for me because I do know people who had to leave their homes. They did manage to land on their feet, and seem to be thriving in a more modest dwelling then they used to own. They did go through a crisis, but probably ended off better then most. But people, wake up, this crisis is not over. For some more gloom and doom see: US FORECLOSURE RATES ARE RISING.

Make Your Own Hair Conditioner

Everybody wants shiny hair like the shampoo models have. Well, you can buy a lot of products from beauty supply stores or beauty shops. But these commercial hair products can get expensive, and they may also contain a lot of chemicals that can get absorbed by the skin.

However, most people can get great results from a home made and natural hair care conditioner. All you need is an egg, a teaspoon of honey (that makes the medicine go down — or was that sugar?), and a tablespoon of olive oil. Beat the egg, and then mix in the honey and olive oil. Then shampoo your hair and rinse it well. Apply your egg mixture. Leave it on for 5 minutes, and then rinse it out. When your hair dries, it should shine!

Coupons. Coupons Coupons

I know I already posted that I was not a huge fan of coupons, mostly because I think they encourage us to buy something we really did not want before we had the coupon. There is something about getting .50 off that makes a purchase hard to resist, even if we actually prefer the “other” brand of pickles.

I mention pickles, because that is one item I do go for a brand on about half the time. We really like good pickles. Some day, perhaps, I should learn to make my own. Any tips on that? Remember, we would love to publish more frugal living tips.

Is Bulk Grocery Shopping Really Saving You Money?

A lot of us visit the big package stores to buy in bulk and save money, but this strategy can backfire sometimes. Some of the problems with buying in bulk are storage, consuming more food then we would otherwise, and letting food go bad.

Do You Know About No Load Life Insurance?

We certainly see a lot of ads for cheap life insurance, but you seldom see an ad for no load life insurance. This is because this life insurance is sold without adding the commission fees into the premium, and so it is much cheaper. Do not assume you get the lowest, no load rates, even if you purchase a policy direct from an insurance company either because they still have to recoup their advertising. Insurance companies spend a lot in TV ads, direct mailers, and magazine spreads.
