Frugal living thread from GD

[undergroundpanther]

Ok. After logging back on and seeing Horse With No Name's post and texaspatriot2000's post and DenaliDemocrat's post I am gonna scream to get everyone's attention!! We have two groups here at DU that could possibly help some, or many of you with everyday household expense cutting. These groups are LOADED with tips and links to sites about cutting your grocery bills and electric bills and hybrid cars and etc. etc. etc. We need your input; and frankly it breaks my heart that everyone (including me off and on!!) is having such a hard time! Isn't it true that even $5-$10 can make a difference daily to most of us? Well, come on over and take a gander at what your fellow DUers have to offer! Please feel free to add or share any thing you feel will be helpful. Put this site to work for you; that is what it is here for!!!
I can't tell you how much I love you guys. Keep your chins up; this too will pass.........

4. You need to right click on links at DU and...

choose 'copy shortcut' or 'copy link location' depending on whether you use IE or Firefox. Other variations in other browsers.

If you just highlight the link and copy it, it doesn't work because you're just copying the part of the link that DU shows.

5. Speaking of frugal living

Now what I am on disability, can anyone tell me if it would be safe to work a menial part-time job for some extra cash? Like at the corner gas station?

Or will it red-flag me?

I really need a little extra money to cover the bills, but I don't want to get cut off, especially since I have only been on SSDI for a month. Nor do I want to trigger an early CDR. As it is, they said I have 5-7 years before a review.

6. You can earn somewhere around $600/month

Probably more since the last time I checked. I had hoped to be able to do something,but certain aspects of my disabilities make it impractical for anyone to hire me.

They say it won't trigger an early CDR ( I think mine have been more like every 3-5 years btw) but one of the questions on the form they send you is if you've done any work. I imagine answering yes does trigger a more intensive review.

Good Luck
