Finally, a guide to saving money that is actually do-able for the average person! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book about living on a shoestring budget. I have been trying to find ways to save money since I was laid off and this book inspires me to continue on that path, whether I go back to a ”regular” job or not. I found myself excited, and a little bit proud of myself, to see that I was already utilizing some of the tips and websites listed in the book. There were a few things I hadn’t thought of, yet. Just the websites listed for help is worth every penny of the small price of this book, and then some. A few things reminded of things my mother used to do, such as hang clothes outside to dry or can food. (I still use a clothesline in the warmer months). There are many tips on living in today’s society, as well. How many devices do we really need that have internet access? Do we need cable television if we have internet service? Even if you have little space, is there any way for you to grow a vegetable or two at home? If you are looking to spend your money on more of the fun things in life, rather than the necessities, you must read this book. Just thirty minutes of reading and I have thought of so many things to do with family and friends that cost pennies to enjoy. I am now inspired to see what else I can save on!
