1.0 out of 5 stars I wish I'd known that it was heavily Christian centered., October 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 21 Days to a Thrifty Lifestyle: A Proven Plan for Beginning New Habits (21-Day Plan Series) (Paperback)

Concepts are useful but extremely basic. Nothing new here although a good reminder. The book is so Christian oriented (which I was not advised of when ordering) that it did not work for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pratical and Easy to Read, September 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 21 Days to a Thrifty Lifestyle: A Proven Plan for Beginning New Habits (21-Day Plan Series) (Paperback)

What a wonderful fast and easy read! Although a considerable amount of the suggestions were not new to be, I found the tips to be good reminders of practical ways to save money. Despite the title, I read the book all in one afternoon. This would be an excellent graduation gift for high school and college graduates starting out on their own. I plan on sharing a number of the principles and ideas with my high school students.

This book provides some very good, basic, ways to save money. The information is easy to understand and the author provides good examples and references. The author also provides biblical references for his ideas, but everyone can benefit from the information provided to save money. I enjoyed the author's sense of humor and real-life examples.
