How to Live on Low Income (By Deborah Waltenburg, eHow)
Create a working budget. Determine how much income will be made during each month, from employment, unemployment benefits and any other resources. Calculate monthly bills (loan payments, utilities, rent) and also necessary expenditures such as food and transportation. A budget will help you monitor spending activity and make changes to adjust to a lower income.
Cancel accounts that are not under contract. Whether it's cable TV, movie rentals, gym or other club memberships, these kinds of nonessential spending should be the first to be eliminated.
Check for budget programs through your local utility, water and heating fuel providers. These programs set a lower monthly payment based on usage and can help you control your utility spending.
Change your entertainment habits. Stop eating out or ordering pizzas, and start cooking at home. Stop going to movie theaters and renting movies, and instead look for DVDs to check out at your local library. Libraries sometimes offer movies free, or at minimal cost, to library patrons.
Change where you shop for food and clothing. There are a variety of discount grocery stores and big-box retailers that offer greater savings than you will find in specialty markets. If you need clothing, check local consignment shops or look for a Goodwill store in your area. Garage sales can also be a great resource for clothing or home goods that you may need.
Adjust your food budget. If you regularly shop for expensive cuts of meat and prepackaged convenience foods, consider scaling back. Switch from brand-name labels to store labels or look for sales and coupons to increase savings. Look for damaged or less-than-perfect produce and ask store clerks if you can get a markdown.
Grow your own food, if you have space for a garden, containers or even room inside your home. Herbs, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and even beans can be grown successfully in containers. If you have garden space, you can grow corn, potatoes, onions, zucchini, winter squash and a host of other vegetables that can be stored and preserved.

'Import bride' remark haunts Taipei Mayor By Amy Chyan ,The China Post
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) responded to media questions yesterday about his choice of terminology when referring to foreign spouses as being “imported” into Taiwan by saying that he did not have malicious intent.
Ko said he did not realize he had upset the crowd with his words.
Ko reasoned that perhaps he worked at the National Taiwan University Hospital for too long and has lost touch with social mores.
While admitting to the press that he had misspoken, Ko also blamed the media for focusing on certain words in his substantially long speech.
“I should have said 'most of the 500,000 foreign spouses that immigrated to Taiwan in recent years are female,'” Ko was quoted by the Awakening News Networks as saying.
The mayor has yet to issue a formal apology as of press time.
The new director-general of the Taipei branch of Female Immigrant Care Association, (台北市新移民女性關懷協會) Li Hsia (李霞) accompanied a dozen mainland Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Burmese and Thai foreign spouses along with their children yesterday to protest in front of Taipei's city hall against Ko's remarks about “import brides.”
Ko's slur about female newcomers to Taiwan discriminates against immigrant women, said Li.
