Quotes

"A blog/Web site author and mom provides all the direction anyone would ever need to live happily for less. She reads her smoothly organized book like she’s giving an impromptu PTA talk—she’s quick and pleasant, determined but not pushy, reasonably enthusiastic. Starting with setting realistic and specific goals, her can-do list of practices also includes clearing out all types of life clutter, shopping in bulk (if you know you like the product), sharing coupons, becoming familiar with retail sale patterns, paying down debt doggedly, and using cash budgets (never credit cards) that don’t let you overspend. She makes austerity and commitment to her plan sound inviting because of her constant focus on enjoying results, seeking contentment, and staying mindful of one’s deepest priorities."
