Great article on managing expenses. But of course it would also be great to be able to grow ones income at the same time. There are many people today who need more income such as stay at home moms. I came across an article which may be helpful on the income side of the equation: http://www.everyjob.com/10-financial-survival-strategies-for-work-at-home-moms/
