While I think its important to make the best of what you've got including your money, there are some books that really go overboard, thank goodness that this book is reasonable. No, not every bit of advice that was given works for me but nonetheless I did get a lot out of this book. A lot of the advice is common sense and other stuff is like "why didn't I think of this myself?"

There are five sections that include: entertainment, relationships, personal improvement, home improvement, and money. Its a good basic guide for anyone that's looking to save without cramping your style. The authors write with wit and humor.

The book is small, pocket book style. My only complaint is that the section on how to make cheap costumes was bad. There are ways to make low cost costumes and they don't have to be lame. That's my only complaint and its a good book overall. I also recommend "City Chic: An Urban Girl's Guide to Livin' Large on Less by Nina Willdorf"

I've used this book on several occasions and it's very helpful. You don't have to be a 20something to put this book to good use. It has something for everybody and virtually every occasion from hanging out with friends to buying a car and simply relaxing. It's a great buy and a great investment.

Cheap ways TO... is fantastic. what a way to save money!!! you can plan a wedding, get higher education, find a pet, decorate your house.. for cheap!!!! the authors should be enshrined in the tightwads hall of fame!!!!!

This is a great book with some really good and cheap ideas. I've had it for years and every now and then I peruse through it and never fail to find something perfect for that moment, day, week, whenever.

During this "economic downturn" it's even more useful and applicable. A book everyone should have one their shelves.
