Linda Price+FollowHow We Survived Being House PoorEver felt like you finally made it—new house, happy family—only to realize your bank account is gasping for air? That’s what happened to this couple: after buying their dream home, they had just $200 left each month while living on one income. The real kicker? Even with $80K in savings, it’s easy to feel stuck. The big lesson: treat your savings like a lifeline, cut out extras (goodbye, takeout!), and find small ways to bring in cash until things ease up.

Vincent Perry+FollowWhy Your Electric Bill Feels So HighEver feel like your electric bill is eating up your paycheck?

randerson+FollowWhy Can't We Find Cheap Places to Live?Ever wonder why finding an affordable place to live feels impossible? Turns out, it's not just about building more homes—most of the land people actually want is already packed. Cities are full, and strict rules make it tough to add more options like duplexes or triplexes. If we made it easier to build multi-unit homes and improved public transport in the suburbs, more people could find a spot without breaking the bank. Plus, remote work could let folks move to cheaper areas—if jobs follow! #HousingCrisis #AffordableLiving #MoneyHacks #RemoteWork #LifeTips #RealEstate60Share
