Doesn't seem very frugal to me! For anyone who's interested: Myself and a couple of friends have started up an Aussie Personal Finance blog called 'Wallet Watcher' (http://www.walletwatcher.com.au) and everything we post is free of charge.

I completely agree with you!! There are a number of sites that on the topic of saving money, and while i think they are fantastic, charging for a membership doesnt sit well for me. These are people looking for frugal living strategies, tips and tricks, and what they've found is a new way to part with X$ membership fee they weren't already spending! My savings tip is to avoid paying memberships to sites and get you and your friends along to free sites like savingmoneyexpert.com.au, the forum section was just launched and needs a community to start posting their knowledge so others can benefit from it for free. visit forum.savingmoneyexpert.com.au/forum Sam! I completely agree with you!!

It is great for a while, but in all honesty I probably keep renewing the membership out of habit now on the off chance I learn anything new. While some of the tips on the forum regarding banking are relevent and current, I find I often have to turn the non-savings chat in the forums off. It is a shame that so many members are more focused on personal problems and issues not regarding money/ time than actually sharing their success stories and how they implemented tips. I think the ideas suggested here about making free money saving sites with similar content is fabulous. After all, if money were no issue to concern people, they wouldn't seek out savings tips right?

While I was a member i contributed the community a lot, and found that i was getting a great response to the content i was providing. I decided to launch my own site to focus more on the content i was producing, so far the response has been fantastic - see http://savingmoneyexpert.com.au Its in its early days but the initial response leads me to believe this site will have a future, i have already hired a full time writer to join the site, and we welcome all contributors to send us an email tips@savingmoneyexpert.com.au and we will PAY people to contribute! and never EVER ask for a membership fee. Neerav,
