What do you do when you are almost ready to capitulate?
Children growing up, parents growing old, money is getting tighter every day... and you count your pennies, and there's no end in sight (there is, definitely, just for the time being it seems there is not). How to keep going? What do you do when you are starting to get out of breath and hope?

Hello black dogs.
I don’t know if it would help you but I find reading some frugal blogs helps me. It’s helpful to know that ours is the only household that really needs to count the pennies and they do provide helpful ideas. Ones I like are MeanQueen, Thrifty Lesley, Shoestring Cottage and My Abundant Life. All the best to you, it can be very hard.x
