One of the most exciting aspects of the Internet is the exchange of useful information. You are able to find information on nearly any topic you may find interesting, including saving money. Some of the best ways to find money saving ideas and information are through newsletters, discussion boards, and net news.
If you are like me, you receive numerous newsletters each week. The great thing about receiving a newsletter in email format or reading one online is that they don't take up much space. Unlike magazines and newspapers, they don't pile up in your garage. Even though they may not have the appearance of a print version, the information contained within can be just as insightful and useful.
Discussion boards and chat rooms are a great way to ask and offer advice about saving money. I have been able to get quick answers concerning computer problems, car problems and more.
Possibly the most valuable resource I have found online for money saving information is net news. If you don't have a news server you can read news online at:
http://www.dejanews.com/
The best newsgroup I have found to post and find money saving ideas is the misc.consumers.frugal-living newsgroup. If you haven't been there already, it's definitely worth checking out. If you don't have a newsreader, just go to DejaNews (www.dejanews.com) and type "misc.consumers.frugal-living" into the search field.
On the Internet, there seems to be a nearly limitless amount of information regarding just about everything. Always use caution when using information you find online but don't shy away from posting a question. You will be surprised at the response you get. In a nation of millions, in a world of billions, with more and more people going online everyday, someone will have an answer to your question.
