How To Live Richly (On a Budget)
2. Find affordable healthcare
Until affordable healthcare is a right of every citizen in America, if you have kids and are working, consider signing up for state sponsored healthcare, officially called State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), administered through your county’s Department of Health and Human Services. Go to Insure Kids Now to see if your working family may qualify. If you don’t have a job (but have kids), start your own home-based business (see below), then apply. Recently, funding has been expanded by congress which extends the reach of the SCHIP program, designed to meet the healthcare needs of children nationally. It’s likely that this is the beginning of affordable healthcare for all, when combined with Medicare for the people age 65 and older.

I love living a green life, reading how other people do as well, and really enjoy sharing ideas with others. I've got a list of about 50 or more things that I do every day and every week to live GREEN and these posts are so valuable! I'd like to see something about green car care, and perhaps one of our green gentleman friends can give us some tips. Thanks!

What a beautiful and inspirational article, I am just now starting my own garden. There are several workshops in local communities at no cost. What an oppurtunity to support our family, and impact our world.

Am blessed to have had parents who lived well during the Great Depression and WW2, and they passed on the wisdom to me. Like the whole use it up, wear it out, find a need or do without. Was reminded of this recently when instead of buying a food scale to measure flour for bread I simply used the postal scale that I use to weigh packages for mailing. Or the hand crank can opener that also has a bottle opener on the end. And recently I gave a big pot with planting soil with corn, squash, a tomato plant and some chives as a gift to someone who doesn't have a lot of room for growing outside plants. And some friends have joined forces to grow a huge vegetable garden at one of the friends home, where everyone helped plant the seeds and are helping weed and water the garden every two days. Other friends who have fruit trees who hate to see the fruit go to waste, are networking so that all the fruit gets picked and used.
