Wow! Lots of sites for learning about money and ways to save money in these hard economic times!
Mymoney.gov - good section for kids - interesting section called "Moneymath - lessons for life" - the first lesson was called " The secret to becoming a millionaire" - ......
There were, however, better sections on starting a small business, responding to life events like the birth of a child, a death, name change, foreclosure, etc.
Investing - a good beginner's guide
Calculators - these are good for people looking to decide what is a better option: rent vs buy?
or to calculate whether you are having enough money withheld in your taxes; there was one for college planning.
Banking - whatbills.com - this site is free and you can sign up to get emails to remind you when your bills are due
Fuel economy - you can find out the cheapest place to get gas in your area - mostly in the Twin Cities - but you can get average prices for MN
Cell Phone rates - myrateplan.com = just put in your zip and you can compare rates - beats driving all over creation
Penny pinching - Frugaldad.com - lots of good ideas for surviving a recession
Freecycle - I checked and there is a group for Northern Rice County - 630 members
Gardening - interesting web site on starting a victory garden; a forum for MN gardeners on gardenweb.
I really liked the frugaldad.com and gardening sites - lots of interaction among members to give advice.
