Money struggles are the number one cause of fights between family members. When a family is struggling to make ends meet they will often experience extreme stress and begin to take out their frustration on each other. Even when the situation is temporary it will cause a lot of harm to everyone. Statistics show that many relationships end because of money problems.

When money becomes tight it is important that both partners sit down and discuss the situation in a calm manner, rather than blaming each other for the troubles. If one has already read the Newbies Guide to Frugal Living they may want their partner to read it before they talk. This helps them both understand the strategies and aims of the program and they both understand their responsibility.

For many people their mortgage is their biggest monthly expense. There are a number of ways to lower a monthly payment and save many thousands of dollars in the long term. Simply by paying off an extra amount each month, the overall balance will decrease much faster. Before doing this it is important to ensure that there are no penalties for an early pay off.

If the family is used to living beyond their means they will have to psychologically readjust to a new way of thinking. This will typically mean little or no eating out. Instead, the family can pack a picnic and head to a free local park for some great family time. The kids will enjoy time outdoors playing sports and games. Putting a positive face on this will really help everyone to get through the rough times.

It is now considered hip and trendy to shop for clothes at a consignment store. Just a few years ago many people were embarrassed to wear second hand clothes. With the recent economic downturn all that has changed. Women now are happy to chat with their friends about all their latest bargains and compete to see who can get the best deals.

Consignment stores are the perfect place to shop for babies and children. Most of the clothing is in near perfect condition. It is quite possible to pick up an expensive designer outfit for next to nothing. Most stores also sell cribs, strollers and other baby items at very reasonable prices. These big ticket items can really add up and will only be used for a short period of time.

Car pooling is also a great way to save a lot of money and help protect the environment. There are many web sites that allow people to connect. People can post the route they are looking for and see if anyone has a spare seat in their car. If it is possible, using public transport is also a great way to save money and arrive at work stress free.

Food is one of the basics of life. Everyone has to shop for food each week. This can be a big drain on the household budget. Frugal individuals and families know many tricks to save money. It is about more than buying in bulk. Cooking meals from scratch will produce tasty and healthy meals at a fraction of the cost of prepared foods.
