GOOD Money
July 7, 2010
When it comes to spending money, we can all find something to cut back on. But even when our consumer culture meets the Great Recession, changing our attitudes and actions about money isn’t always easy. While learning to do without can be difficult, it’s also a great time to learn how to simplify our lives and invest in the community instead of the latest fads. Living on less means conserving energy, reusing our resources and making every dollar count.
This GOOD issue is filled with ideas on how to have fun on the cheap, help others and improve our financial literacy.
Be sure and check back for more stories.
