As the title suggests,'Saving your way to a better life' is definitely an excellent resource for anyone who wants to save money.You definitely need to cultivate a thrifty mindset. No one can save money and live debt free if you are a big spender. No one really got rich by wasting money on stuff you don't need and increasing your credit card debt.The author has provided some great financial advice in a simple and fun way, for people who need to manage their finances better and stay clear of debt. I had no idea how to work out your credit score and I found this valuable information. One of the great strategies is to to call the credit card company you are with and ask them to reduce the interest rate. In most cases, this works. I have done this myself a few years ago. Reducing card debt will go a long way to saving.The chapter on couponing and discount shopping was an eye opener. Now that I've read this book, I'm off to implement this technique.The book end with a 'debt payoff plan' and its really easy to implement this and start saving money.Do yourself a favor and get this book. I suggest reading it once and then start implementing all the money saving strategies mentioned.You will be happy you did.
