Money-Saving Book Review



Book Review: The Money Saving Mom’s Budget

One of my favorite websites, in regards to saving money with a Faith Perspective, is moneysavingmom.com.  Crystal Paine has done a phenomenal job at finding ways to live a full life frugally, and she does it all while maintaining a kingdom-focus.  Recently, we received her book and were asked to read it and give an honest review of it to you!  Knowing the impact that she has already made on our own personal finances, we were happy to comply, and as soon as the book arrived I quickly began reading!

After finishing the book I fully believe that this is one of the best, most applicable, money-saving books for moms that I’ve seen in a long while!  Crystal walks through NUMEROUS ways to save money ranging from how to develop a budget that works, as well as ways to coupon, and even reduce unwanted clutter in your home.  The book covers so much more than just saving money – she really focuses on improving your life overall!  This book is a quick, and excellent read!

Perhaps my favorite section of the entire book was her chapter on how to “Go out on the town without going broke.” Over and over she gives tips and tricks to saving money without ruining your life!  She provides websites to find places that kids can eat free, and discusses the importance of refusing to pay retail for things in the store.  “There are so many ways to enjoy life,” she says, “ at a discount!  When you commit to never paying retail, it opens up a world of creative ideas and possibilities.” 

The book is jam-packed with websites to use in planning your spending, worksheets she’s created to help get a handle on your own spending, and stories from other individuals who have made cost-cutting work for them!  If you’re looking for a hands-on strategic book to help you get your spending in order, this is what you’re looking for!  I loved it!

The book will not be released until January 10, 2012, however, you can find more information about pre-ordering the book by clicking  here
