Her husband passed away and left her with some money and she has a job but she is trying hard to live off of the little bit of money from both. Her house is small and she has a roommate who is helping out. I can’t afford to give her money but I’m looking for unique ideas on how to help her financially for Mother’s day. I’m thinking of making a book of ideas on how to lower her expenses or how to take care of her finances. Any unique ideas would be great!

misti,
Just keep sending her money and keep dialogue open on how to save money on food and clothes.

You don’t need a unique idea to work. Go with the age old method of creating and budget and following it religiously. It will work and both you and your mom will have a very clear picture of how much is saved every month and how the expenses are going up.

Dave Ramsey’s book
Financial Peace Revisited.
Excellent book with a lot of good advice.
