New section: Saving Rate

[Ex Pat]

Hey

While the saving rate is the most important metric for reaching FI, I personally find it difficult to organize myself, think about it, measure it and improve it.

Does it make sense to have a section on this forum specifically for "how to save"?

We have "FIRE" and "Investing", but we don't have one for savings, frugality, budgeting, side gigs.

@Baptiste Wicht mentions the importance of the saving rate on the blog, but I believe we could motivate each other as a community around strategies to save.

Hi @Ex Pat

Thanks for the suggestion.

I am not against new sections; I just want to avoid empty ones

What about a "Personal Finance" section for all these topics?

I think a section about saving tips or improvement to personal finance could be valuable. Topics such as Save money with open-source software: Stop Paying for Subscriptions, health insurance, internet cell and cell phones could be discussed in this section. So far I used the 'Switzerland' section for such topic, but a personal finance section would match better.
