Eating Ramen,

This review is from: Eating Ramen: A Survival Guide for Tough Financial Times (Paperback)
I found this book to be very helpful especially these days. She has me thinking about all my purchases when I go shopping, whether it be for groceries or other things. She also makes you realize that there are a lot of things we can do ourselves without calling a professional and thereby saving ourselves a few dollars.

Timely and Overflowing With Cost-Saving Advice!,
This review is from: Eating Ramen: A Survival Guide for Tough Financial Times (Paperback)
After finishing "Eating Ramen," I can safely say that this is one collection of wisdom that bears sharing with others and re-reading myself. By narrating her life story with wit and graceful aplomb, author Ellie Byrd writes convincingly because she writes from the heart. It helps too that her advice on financial self-discipline is so timely, especially for people who didn't necessarily grow up with this sort of "common sense" (which is, unfortunately, not so common these days).The book contains practical advice about how the author got her own financial house in order through disciplined (though doable) acts of smart spending and saving. The real brilliance of her story, though, is how she teaches others to follow in her footsteps- learning valuable lessons from both her mistakes and successes. She writes in a conversational style that pulls you in, but unlike many other financial "self-help" books, she does not skimp on the content. There are lists, worksheets, and concept summaries that are easily adaptable to the reader (at least in my case). A dozen times or so I stopped and thought, "I never looked at [insert life topic] that way before." This is a compliment to her writing style. I knew that this was an excellent book when I started thinking more deeply about my own finances and everyday choices, and decided to use some of her simple suggestions to build a more solid financial footing. Not all of the ideas are relevant to me where I am at, however; but I trust that most all of the topics will (at some point) be important for me to understand. That is one reason why I'm glad to have it on my shelf. Examples of Topics Discussed: * Taking note of financial non-essentials * Budgeting * Taking a sort of snapshot of your finances in the "now" * Spending/Saving philosophy (with plenty of stories!) * Shopping (name brands vs. generic, groceries, cars, gas, food preparation, etc. etc.) * Raising kids with some common sense * Counting your blessings when the chips are down * Putting your chips to good use when they are up * A lot more... [You can see the breadth of areas covered] In conclusion, I highly recommend "Eating Ramen" to anyone looking for ways to make meaningful changes in their own spending/savings habits, especially in looking towards building their financial future (regardless of age, really).

"Eatting Ramen" is a great read for anyone seeking gainful employment and/ or job satisfaction!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Eating Ramen: A Survival Guide for Tough Financial Times (Paperback)
"Eating Ramen" is a one-sitting, great read for anyone,full of useful advice, wisdom, and how-to guidance. In addition to a moving, candid story of the author's challenges, problem-solving, and persistance that have led to a successful career and lifestyle, highlights for me include: the Czech Payment Plan, Smart Entertainment, Tips from Aunt Annie, and the Most helpful worksheets, including , the Blessings Ledger, Create your Budget and the Mindset Changes list. I've ordered additional copies for friends and "Job Seekers," an inter-faith group at my church for those seeking employment, a new career, and/ or who are experiencing financial challenges.
