Would you like to learn how from someone who actually does?
Dear Friend,
Over ten years ago I found myself a single mother with three children to raise.
I had to learn fast.
I had to support those kids on a fast food paycheck while I put myself through school.
Not only did I manage to do it but I topped my own expectations. We ended up living better than I ever would have imagined.
Since then I have not only quit my day job but I have built up sufficient income to become a single stay-at-home mother to my youngest child. This feat would not have been possible without the frugality of shoestring living.
We live well on about $500 a month - and know how to live on even LESS!
Over the years I have shared my secrets with others who have fallen on hard times. I have helped friends who became disabled, single parents, the unemployed and others who found a need to live on as little money as possible.
The first thing I always shared were the timeless words of my grandmother. Even now I can hear her reminding me to hold up my head because...
There's no sin in being poor!
This may be your first brush with life below the poverty line. You may be scared. You may be ashamed. You may not know what to do or where to start.
I'm here to help you save money
I have drawn upon my 10+ years of personal experience to create the ultimate frugal living guide. I won't bore you with stupid fluff about clipping coupons. Instead, you will find a concise method you can implement to save thousands of dollars over the course of a year.
Sections Include:
Auto
Groceries (Includes raising food)
Computers (includes where to find free and inexpensive software)
Television (includes watching shows online for free)
Books (lots of links to free ebooks and how to search for free ebooks online)

And much more!
I not only explain the exact methods that I use to save money and live frugally but I also explain how I could live on about half of the money that I actually do.
While you may not wish to apply everything here I am confident that you will be inspired to save more money than you ever thought possible. You CAN learn the skills you need to overcome your current financial challenge.
