		<description><![CDATA[Even the Frugal Should Give Sometimes Look, we are all about frugal living, and some people consider us total cheapskates! But that hardly means we don&#8217;t have a heart. In fact, with all of our frugal ways, we should actually have a few extra bucks around to give! Clinton Bush Haiti Relief I would urge all of you to make a stop at the Clinton Bush Haiti Relief Fund Website. You will be able to learn more about the scope of this disaster, what government and charity groups need to help, and what you can do. The website does urge visitors to make a donation, but even smaller amounts of cash can help. If you can spare $25 or $50, it probably will not change your life that much. But that money, multiplied by all the other donations, can save a lot of lives. Why Give to Haiti Relief? You can probably spare $25 &#8211; $50. The UN estimates that 3 million people in Haiti need food, water, and medical help. There may be a million people who are homeless right now. Homes have collapsed, and people are afraid to return to buildings because of aftershocks. These totals include children, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[What To Do With Unwanted Gift Cards It happens almost every holiday season. Gift cards seem like such a great idea because they allow the person who got the card to go shopping. The only problem that pops up is when the card is only for a store that you never go to. A $50 Godiva chocolate gift card may sound perfect, but it will not work for somebody who just started their New Year&#8217;s diet. If you are in a situation like that, you would probably rather have a new pair of walking shoes or money for new Gclothes that are a size smaller! Some great uses of unwanted gift cards: Sell Your Gift Card. You will need to sell it for less than the face value, but you can get some cash for it. Look at online auction websites, and you will see that they are full of gift card sales. Or, simpler yet, put up a notice at work in a approved place. Give Your Gift Card Away. If you got a $50 gift card to a store that is just not convenient, you can use it as a donation to your favorite charity. Buy Stuff For [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Why Anti-Consumerism? Isn&#8217;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. So as a young adult, I saved some, but mostly felt as if some extra cash in my hand was a prime reason for purchasing new electronics, hip mall clothes, and whatever else I just had to have. And of course, I took out loans for brand new cars on the lot, and those cars seldom were paid off before being traded in. I found this article on a term called Off-Consumerism, and it fits in with my new mentality. I like the shoe comparison, because well, we all need shoes. Maybe we even need a few different types of shoes. For instance, I still believe a reasonable person [...]
