Welcome to Making Sense New England, a series about the economy and you. Public broadcasters from Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire teamed up to share stories from communities throughout northern New England. We offer ideas, advice and solutions to the financial and economic challenges facing you and your neighbors. We've collected an array of on-line tools and resources to we're sure will help improve financial literacy
Today, you'll see how a neighborhood in Stratham, NH mobilized to save their homes.
You'll meet a women from Leeds, Maine who for more than a decade taught the country how to live frugally.
And you'll learn how to protect your investments.
First, for a lot of people who are out of work, finding a job is painfully impersonal. The sheer loneliness and isolation of the process can cloud clear thinking. But Making Sense correspondent Bridget Barry Caswell met a group of people in Burlington, Vermont who are helping each other clear a path toward employment and self-understanding.

New Englanders are known for their frugality -- or are they? Amy Dacyzyn who is well known for her publication, Tightwad Gazette says that frugality seems to move in and out of favor like the tide. I met with Amy at her home in Leeds, Maine
and learned that being frugal pays dividends during good economic times and bad.

You'll hear more about the Community Loan Fund at the end of the program. But before we take you there, I recently met with US Securities and Exchange Commissioner Elisse Walter. We discussed some of the new ways criminals are stealing from investors like you. The Commissioner offered some advice on how not to be a victim.
