Living More While Making Less

I have created this new forum area LIVING MORE WHILE MAKING LESS to be a more reality based Topic Area.   http://www.dinardaily.net/f66-living-more-while-making-less
 
Let's face it.  Many of us got into buying the dinar because of the draw of having more money, of being able to live an easier life with less stress.  We wanted to be able to share it with others, while we also enjoy some of the nicer things in life.  And there are many who were/are living on a shoe string.  Yes, some dinarians are well off and are comfortable with or without the RV and it is just another + in their financial portfolio, but for me, an RV would be a "better way of living". 
 
But, as it stands, we are not there yet and who knows, maybe we will never be.  So I don't want to make posts on how to live like a millionaire.  I don't want to post things that make the dreams too big.  For, we are NOT promised tomorrow and we also have no idea if this RV will ever come to fruition.
 
So this area is for ALL of us to share ideas on how to make a better life on what we have right now, financially.  For me, right now, that is a tighter budget and I am always looking for ways to cut back or do things and have things that cost less.
 
This can be anything you want to share from articles to "DEALS" you find and want to share, or just ways that you have found to live on less but still feeling blessed.
 
Please feel free to post... We all have different lives but we are all just working on making it the best life possible.
 
Thanks for participating... and ...
 
Today, please share a good word to a stranger in your day, for you don't know what they are going through. 

This is a great idea. Although I am blessed and live in abundance, I am always looking at ways to live simpler and less burdened. For instance, this year I am investing in heirloom seeds and learning how to harvest my own seeds and be totally self sufficient. Seeds are like shoes used to be, never have enough, always ordering online for more varieties, but it has taken me 3 years to learn how to grow food using permaculture methods, this is the first year I see worms in my soil! 
Also, I'm a survivalist, we collect storage foods since we are living in times when Mother Earth is birthing, we just don't know that we might be without electricity or disconnected from the mainland, so, I am learning how to can and dehydrate foods. I would like to have a goat and chickens, but it's already tough wanting to go away for a few days with a dog and cat, but a goat provides milk and cheese, hens provide eggs and meat, basic foods needed in times when you have no access to a store.
