Do you have too much month at the end of your money? Is your credit card screaming for relief? Are you tired of robbing Peter to pay Paul . . . whoever they are? Meet Steve and Annette Economides. They’ve been called cheapskates, thriftaholics, and tightwads, but in these tough economic times, Steve and Annette have managed to feed their family of seven on just $350 per month, pay off their first house in nine years and purchase a second, larger home, buy cars with cash, take wonderful vacations, and put money in savings. Without degrees in finance or six-figure salaries, Steve and Annette have created a comfortable, debt-free life for themselves and their children. In America’s Cheapest Family Gets You Right on the Money, they show you how they did it- and how you can do it too. Steve and Annette share many down-to-earth principles and the simple spending plan that they have used since 1982. They have taught this economizing lifestyle to thousands of people worldwide through seminars and their newsletter, and they include lots of real-life stories to make you feel as if you’re having your own private coaching session. Not only will you find solutions to your financial dilemmas, you’ll also discover a whole new way of life. You don’t need to be a CPA or a math wizard to learn their revolutionary system, which will teach you: - hundreds of ways to save money on everyday household expenses, including groceries, clothing, and health care - how to save in advance for major purchases such as homes, cars, and vacations - how to stop living paycheck to paycheck - how to eliminate debt . . . forever! America’s Cheapest Family Gets You Right on the Money puts meeting your financial goals- and living well at the same time- in reach for every family. |

 Written on July 10, 2008 Summary: This Book Delivers What Is Promised I read this book a while ago when I took an interest in personal finance. It includes lots and lots of helpful tips like describing how to freeze food (wrap bagged bread inside a grocery bag to prevent freezer burn) and describing how they and their friends have saved money in the past. I don't know the source, but there is a triangle concerning goods. The three sides are price, quality, and time and you can't have all of them. You have to sacrifice quality if you want a better price in the same amount of time. The book emphasizes planning ahead and looking around. This book, like other books on the same topic, encourages creative thinking. Rather than going straight to a retail store to buy a new entertainment center, check yard sales, craigslist, etc. because people give those away all the time when they move. This can be applied to most purchases. A little preparation and brainstorming goes a long way. The Economides family really gets this across in their book. Written on April 29, 2008 Summary: Good for Newbies Didn't really glean any advice for myself, but it was a quick interesting read and I think it would be helpful to inspire frugality in those who are just learning the skill.  Written on April 28, 2008 Summary: The only book you need to read is the Tighwad Gazette I thought this book would bring some new ideas based on the positive reviews. However, after reading it I don't think I learned anything new. The chapter on budgeting was interesting, but I really learned most of my frugal tricks from Amy Dacyczyn's "The Complete Tightwad Gazette." It does not read as easily as "America's Cheapest Family," because it is in newsletter form. But, it has a ton more information than this book has to offer. I do admit that you have to have more patience reading the Tightwad Gazette, because you can't simply flip to the chapter you're most interested in. But it is, hands down, much more informative than America's Cheapest Family. Don't waste you're money on this book - just buy The Tightwad Gazette (or better yet, get it from the library) - it'll tell you everything you need to know! Written on April 9, 2008 Summary: Practical and great! This book is loaded with experiences and practical ways to be good stewards of our money and time. It's organized in a way that's great as a reference tool. And they have lots of references you can go to for further assistance. They have and promote a great family bond. I appreciate the love and care that went into this book by the husband, wife AND kids. :-) I loved it!  Written on April 4, 2008 Summary: Question My family lives within its budget, which isin't always easy considering our priorities. We very much value eating foods that are locally grown, organic, and primarily "food". That is, we do most of our cooking from scratch. Before buying this book I'd be interested in knowing how much of the "cheapness" comes from buying highly processed foods? If buying cheaply means buying at Wal-Mart and essentially supporting the consumer gluttony of our country I'm not interested. If their solutions are more creative and globally concious than just saving money I'd like to see what we can learn from them. |
