The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of thrift and its benefits. Franks discusses the importance of budgeting and saving, as well as the dangers of overspending and debt. She also provides practical advice on how to live a frugal lifestyle, including tips on shopping, cooking, and entertainment.

Overall, The Margin of Happiness: The Reward of Thrift is a timeless guide to living a more fulfilling and financially responsible life.
