Financial Diaries - 20 13 Episode of Planet Money

Financial diaries was a project that tracked the money habits of more than 200 low and middle income american households over the course of a year. It included case studies of people who learned all these creative ways to borrow and lend money and to save money outside the formal banking system. That project also inspired this 20 13 episode of planet money from marianne mc cune and alex bloomberg about some of these duit yourself approaches to managing money.
