Braderick Jones, a mechanic in Wisconsin, had always lived paycheck to paycheck, never developing a budget or a savings account. He and his family had to borrow money frequently just to pay the bills. "I never really thought about budgeting money. We never accumulated any savings. Anytime anything unexpected happened, my family had to borrow money," Jones said. All this changed when he received a Wisconsin Saves flyer at his housing complex. Read his story.

"Save money by working out at home and using common household items to work out with. Cans of soup and laundry detergent containers make great free weights, and old pantyhose can be used as a stretch band."
