- Miss Thrifty is targeting young mums with her money saving, frugal tips and articles. And
rightly so! The market is massive and she’s meeting a need for this type of information. Young

just one wage coming in, so the need to be more frugal with everyday living is a must.

day living. There’s also a section on their that shows guys how to make a little more cash on top

water. A lot of new dads have the added stress of not having their wives’ or girlfriends’ wage

So having some content around how they can make a few extra “Ps” in their wallet each month,
can ease the burden somewhat.

blog for people who love tech, but live outside the bubble. This is so refreshing, because so
many tech blogs out there are a bit too technical and full to the brim of jargon. It’s nice to see a
tech blog that has lowered the entry level to tech news.
