Synopsis

Take one thoroughly modern gal with a recessionary income problem, mix with the practices of a culture that has proved to be recession-proof, and what have you got? A financial planner in a straw hat. When writer Lorilee Craker learned that the Amish are not just surviving but thriving in the economic downturn, she decided to find out why. What she found was about a dozen tried and true financial habits the Amish have employed for generations that will make your cash last longer and help you build wealth. Craker provides tips to... use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without... rethink your gift giving... repurpose, recycle, and reuse... eat like royalty for a peasant’s pittance

I had hoped for some new-ish savings tidbits but these tips are just common sense. If you live extravagantly and you suddenly go from a lot of income to a 'minimal' income, this book could be helpful. However if you are already someone on a very limited budget, the book comes across more as one woma......more

Goodreads review by Anahita on February 25, 2015

I found the title misleading. It should be, "Common Sense About Money, With Lots of Amish Puns."
