    It has been good to keep my list on the refrigerator, and mark everything as I have accomplished it.  There are things I have already been doing since I live on a fixed income, but have enjoyed the new ways of continuing to preserve and save.

    I actually went to the LINK website and was looking at the schedules and areas serviced.  This compelled me to fill out the LINK survey.
