I live in an area of the United States that has a high cost of living. I could move to an area that is cheaper to live in just so I can stretch my dollar further but the job opportunities are not there (aside from working for low wages at McDonald's and Wal-Mart). Basically I am living in a high cost area just so I can have more social and career opportunities. But it can get pretty expensive doing mudane things like shopping for groceries (and, no, I don't shop in gourmet markets either) and paying for gas. Sure I could work two or three jobs and make myself totally exhausted. I thought there had to be a better way. Thanks to sites like
Save Karyn and
Help Ann, I found out that there is an alternative to working your ass off.
