How to Live Well Without Owning a Car by Chris Balish

Ostensibly a guide for stay-at-home mothers, but actually filled with useful tips for anyone who is concerned with frugality (especially parents with young children).

A subject near and dear to my heart, having been a Great Depression baby. An essay in my 2nd memoir is titled "My Cantilevered Life (or how to live like a princess with no visible means of support)" I'm glad to get the links above, as the current economy demands an even further tightening of one's belt. Thanks
