What a great book! This is probably one of the best books I've read on the topic. I've not only learned a lot of useful tips and ideas to save more money; I've also learned a lot of myself, and what I really need to live a better life, a more meaningful one. As the author says, "when you stake your happiness on material possessions, your joy has an expiration date." I couldn't agree more. We all know that feel, don't we? But sometimes we need to read a book like this to be reminded of what really matters in life.This is not a long book, but every sentence really counts. I found good and useful ideas on almost every page. I really liked the holistic approach to frugal living. The author gives tons of tips on how to save money at home, but she also gives advice on cutting costs on a wide variety of daily expenses, like dining out and other leisure activities. Especially interesting to me was the section about frugal and healthy foods.I've read two other books from the author, one about living an uncluttered life and the other about living a less stressful life. Both were very good books in different ways but this one is probably my favorite.Recommended read for anyone interested in living a simpler and more meaningful life.
