Living on Twelve Dollars a Week in Indianapolis
An Indianapolis couple shares how they built modest wealth on small earnings. They started with two rented rooms, saved $200 in a building association, bought three lots for $100 each, and constructed a double house with help from a relative loan. By living frugally, managing markets, and reinvesting in property, they now own several cottages and plan more housing, keeping family life focused and self reliant.
