These posts are a great find. I especially enjoyed the moolanomy post on how to deal with a financial emergency. A great way to financially prepare yourself for a touch economic year.
There's a limit to what you can do by trimming spending and optimizing savings & investing. To really propel yourself forward, you need to increase your income. The best way to do that is by creating a business, since you have control over how much you make, and you'll have more financial security since you won't be dependent on a single job to pay your bills.
Both frugal living and striving for higher earnings are equally important behaviors.
Great roundup! I especially like that you included the article about handling financial emergencies - so important in today's economic climate! Thank you!
