• Ways to cut your budget
• how to make and plan your budget-Honestly I think we need a sticky on this. Its a top question on the forums for newbies.
• links to calculaters. For buying a house getting a laon and such. Real ones not the banks those are faulty. they tell tou to spend more than is wise.
• warnings on budgeting. Like dont buy a home based on what the bank tells you!!
• Supper budgeting- some members have ways to pinch every last penny and have been telling how lately.

All I can think of.

Ok will see what I can do to get info on these things if you think of anything else let me know. Ideas are greatly appreciated. I can post stuff all day long but if it's not what you all need it's not going to help. So I thought I would ask. Thanks again

Are you looking for any areas imparticular????

I am always lookin for new ways to cut costs. Budget friendly projects that cut costs. Example: caulking around our windows only cost us dolars to do . maybe $10 and my office is leaps and bounds warmer. Someone said to use newspapers instead of the garden plastic to reduce weeds and its on my list. Everything in the forums is so disjointed though. Finding information that is not recently posted is rough and the same things are posted over and over. I dont know if there is a solution. But maybe a sticky for important posts at the top of each forum?? Dunno.

Try this, use the home tab on the top left this will bring you to a list of all forums........ here is the link
Budget101.com Forums - Your Complete Frugal Living Resource

you can also bring up posts all the way back from the beginning of the forum by changing your settings on the bottom of each forum that says display options where you can choose how many days to go back. Hope this helps some, I am trying to see if I can find a way to link back to some of the posts that have been made previously on these topics to see if that will help some.

There is also a forum called frugal savings that lists some ways to do things cheaply. Frugal Savings - Budget101.com Forums

The search feature at the top of the pages on the right hand side under where it shows if you are signed in is also a good feature for finding posts that mention certain things.


Again I hope this helps some.
