Customer Reviews

Interesting

Interesting read, but yes, a bit dated. I just skipped over the parts that either didn't apply or where no longer relevant.

excellence

This book provides excellent advice, has an unbeatable price, and is hardback. Also well-written.

You only need a few good ideas - I have more money in my pocket

I have not even read close to 1/2 of the book. So far, I have found a lot of info that is not useful to me. My advise is to just not spend any time on those parts. I did find, so far, 2 good ideas and the day after finding them, I implemented them. The result is cold, hard cash and an ubelievably better use of some cash I already had. I expect the rest of the book will be the same way. I will skip the parts that do not apply to me or interest me. I will however, find more good ideas. Heck, the 2 ideas I have already found paid for the book and my future will be "richer." I also plan to provide the reviews of this book to my smoking cessation classes. Until they quit, they need to be frugal. Once they do quit, they need ideas for all that extra money.

Great Ideas

This book has a great variety of ideas for frugal living without sacrificing quality. I keep mine as a catalog, so to speak. Not all of the ideas apply to me, but many of them do. This book was money very well spent -- which I am sure will make the authors happy!

Living well without breaking the bank!

This book is an excellent source for anyone who is trying to accomplish their goals which require a great amount of money. Not only do they offer tips and experiences, they also make the reader feel more at ease without the fancy grammar used in some books for living well.

Something for everyone

For over a decade I have loved reading YANKEE magazine and this book from the editors of YANKEE magazine is a gold mine of useful information.Close to 400 pages that cover everything from Secrets of a Debt Free Life; Easy Ways To Increase Your Income; Spending Less on Furniture; Personal Care for Pennies; Frugal Ways to Deal with Financial Emergencies; Celebrating On a Budget; Holiday and Gift Giving on a Budget and Thrifty Travel and Vacation Ideas.Now I cant use everything in the book, but I picked up enough helpful ideas I never knew about, to consider it a good investment and the nice thing is the Library now owns the book so think of all the others who will get advise as well.
