But then, here in France, the " you're 18, you're out on your own" bul*sh*t is not the norm. It's when they're starting their lives that our money can help them, not when they'll inherit it in their sixties.

What I love is that frugal and sustainable go hand in hand. Almost all of these solutions are also less wasteful / more environmentally friendly than the 'expensive' option!

I'm a glacier scientist - where I do research, it's either polar bears (north) or penguins (south)! But on Greenland and Svalbard, we carry rifles and flares.
