There are many people having to, or choosing to, live on less. They might have lost their job, earn a low income, have taken early retirement, or simply chose to live a simpler life style. Many want to save money, live within their means, and take care of the earth.
Many who are struggling to live on less strive to maintain their dignity, self worth, health and good nutrition.
“Living on Less” is a free seven-week program helping people live on less income and reduce their environmental footprint.
The autumn 2013 session will start Oct. 21 at 9:30am for refreshments, with the program from 10am to noon.
The program runs weekly at St. James the Apostle Church (Paisley and Glasgow) through Dec. 2. It is co-sponsored by the Guelph Wellington Men’s Club, and St. James the Apostle Anglican Church.
Since 2009, participants in Living On Less have been developing their own spending plan and living on less with confidence.
Topics to be addressed are managing money, living within financial and environmental means, eating on much less, keeping healthy and finding housing, employment and transportation, growing herbs and connecting with nature.
Limited space in a free childcare program is available. Pre-register by e-mailing livingonless@sjapostle.ca or phone 519-837-1061 for further information.
