3.0 out of 5 stars Good, just not what I expected., March 29, 2008
This review is from: Half-Price Living: Secrets to Living Well on One Income (Paperback)
This is a great book for women who are considering the benefits and drawbacks of being as stay at home mom. Almost the first half of the book is devoted to facts, worksheets, and sweet success stories of families who live on one income, and make it work. I already stay at home, and I was looking for more information on how to save money.
