Welcome to Litsy!

"Do You Want to Live on Less?" "Would you like to learn how from someone who actually does?" Dear Friend, Over ten years ago I found myself a single mother with three children to raise. I had to learn fast. I had to support those kids on a fast food paycheck while I put myself through school. Not only did I manage to do it but I topped my own expectations. We ended up living better than I "ever" would have imagined. Since then I have not only quit my day job but I have built up sufficient income to become a single stay-at-home mother to my youngest child. This feat would not have been possible without the frugality of shoestring living. We live well on about $500 a month - and know how to live on even LESS! Over the years I have shared my secrets with others who have fallen on hard times. I have helped friends who became disabled, single parents, the unemployed and others who found a need to live on as little money as possible. The first thing I always shared were the timeless words of my grandmother. Even now I can hear her reminding me to hold up my head because... ""There's no sin in being poor!""
