Festival of Frugality #64

Welcome to the 64th edition of the Festival of Frugality, hosted right here for the very first time ever on Getting Green. This is the first carnival that Getting Green has had the privilege of hosting, and we're happy to bring you a series of high-quality posts about how you can spend less money! I've sorted the entries into four categories: home & family, buying & selling, business, and miscellaneous for easier consumption.

If you are a first time visitor to Getting Green, I would like to invite you to look around and stay a while and look at some of my additional articles on how to become more frugal. You might enjoy the story of how I manage to live on $600 a month or if you enjoy writing and need to make a little bit of extra money, consider reading my article on how to make money freelance writing online. Getting Green is a financial webzine which discusses topics of banking, personal finance, investing, debt reduction, frugality, and more. We teach nothing but sound conservative and christian financial principals.

Thank you for including my article "PMI Explained" in the festival! I truly hope your readers can benefit from the information--more importantly, that many will realize significant savings from having their PMI canceled!

Thank you for taking the time to host. Frugality is certainly a popular topic in my home ;-)
