From the back cover:
Tired of having no money? Paycheck spent before you ever show up for work? Drive a car that will never be paid off? Creditors after you? Dread getting the mail? Lots of bad self-defeating habits? Is this any way to live?
Instead of the culture of thrift we inherited, Americans have drifted into a culture of debt. Turn it around. Change the way you look at money and life. Change your spending habits. Change how you live. Chip away at that mountain of debt. Change your attitude. Greed is not good; greed is one of the seven deadly sins.
Articles abound about cutting costs and reducing bills. Many are written by people who don’t do it. Written by a life-long frugalist, this question and answer book talks about changing the way you do things to the old fashioned, sane ways of our parents and grandparents.
Change the way you do things. Change how and where and when you shop.
Make your own laundry soap for pennies. Make your own household cleaners.
Make your own healthy bread. Make your own granola cereal to die for.
Recycle and reuse everything you can think of. Waste nothing. Get rid of all junk, particularly junk food.
Pay cash. Budget your money. Use your lone credit card carefully. Pay off the total each month.
Can’t be done? Yes, it can. Fast reading and concise, this little book will make a big difference in your life – even if you change only one item. If you pay attention, you will find yourself referring to it over and over.
