Inspired by recent economic scare, thousands find creative ways to save money

Highly publicized, recent events in todays American economy have released a floodgate of worry and even feelings of dread amongst many families in doubt of the future. With far too many businesses sending jobs overseas in the interest of preserving profit, the once prominent idea of the secure and easily attained "American Dream" are quickly fading in the minds of many. That old idea that you can have anything you want, when you want, and as much of it as you want is being replaced these days with a more frugal perception. The good news is abundance is still within grasp for many. For some it will be necessary to begin taking dramatic lifestyle changes, while others are afforded the comfort of learning how simple "tweaks" on their lifestyle can yield great returns on the money spent. From couponing to recycling, money-saving ideas are everywhere and for the keen observer there may be a glimmer of hope in the future. A household of four that is able to trim even $100 each month can inadvertently create wealth as a bi product of frugal living. Depending on standards of living and levels of debt, even the meagest of earners amongst us have the opportunity to create substantial wealth if putting to use some of the many methods of money-saving techniques that are available. As the economy shows no immediate signs of improving to the point of restoring faith in our future and way of life, the vast majority of those struck with fear will eventually prevail by harnessing a new way of life as a "frugalista". For those exploring the possibilities of a future that is void of financial worry, a new comfort will soon be found as frugal living provides inspiration in every spending decision.
