At the age of 49, Cindi Roberts is doing a lot of things she never thought were possible -- saving money and going back to school. After an injury over ten years ago left her unable to return to her previous line of work, Cindi had to resort to government assistance to pay her bills. She received disability payments and food stamps, and was pessimistic about her future. Cindi then learned about government grants and scholarships, and enrolled at Chattanooga State Technical Community College’s information system technology program. She also enrolled in the Managing Money in Tough Times at the Chattanooga State Technical Community College AHEAD program, sponsored by Tennessee Saves, where she began to realize saving money was also possible. Read her story.

"I’ve filled our yard with beautiful flowers for free by taking the surplus others have after thinning out their flowerbeds. My parents gave us some daffodil bulbs from their yard; A coworker thinned out her irises and gave me some. I got some daylilies from someone on Freecycle.org who wanted them removed so he could use the space for a vegetable garden. Also, I get free mulch made from brush and leaf pick-ups from my county’s waste management department."
