IThat was really a bummer with the Google Reader. I’ve tried new readers here and there and I’m still looking for the perfect one that I’m comfortable with.

Look for ways consistent with abilities you already have and you’ll be surprised at so many ways to make more money. More income and being frugal go hand in hand!

This is a great wake up call type post. As a stay at home mom I always had a side hustle – substitute teaching, library assistant, selling crafts I made and selling antiques on eBay (when you could make good money at it b/c nobody had looked in their attics yet!) – and I don’t think my husband and I had enough respect for that income.

Most of us have a hobby or interest that we could turn into some extra income. Once you’ve figured that out, the next problem is carving out the time for your side hustle.

I agree that saving can only take you so far, but to master becoming wealthy, learning how to save is key. Not spending that money when you increase your income will be what makes you wealthy in the long run, so learning how to save is a must.

Reaching financial independence requires keeping expenses under control. But, at some point, you’ve cut all you… http://t.co/bTgLZ5J5yp

I don’t know that Kurt is necessarily wrong either. In fact, he makes a pretty good point. Cutting a $1 from expenses is the same as earning another 75-85 cents. Especially if you talk about cutting expenses. Every $1 you cut from expenses is one more $1 that you’ve got to save. But, then, that’s the point of the post. You can only cut expenses so far before you’ve hit that basement floor and can’t cut any more. Then, is when you see that growing earnings is more important.

I have still not decided which reader to switch to. There are a bunch of great options. I have cut my reader list a bit inspired by this, but only on the mega blogs that post 20+ times per day (Lifehacker, Consumerist).
