5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Have" book for everyone!, July 14, 2009

This review is from: Frugillionaire: 500 Fabulous Ways to Live Richly and Save a Fortune (Paperback)

When I saw this book I figured "Who wouldn't want to save a few bucks". I thought I might pick up a tip or two. I was pleasantly suprised when I realized that the book is packed with hundreds of money saving ideas and suggestions. The book is laid out in such a manner that you can read a few tips a session if you choose. I found it very hard to put down. Every parent should buy one of these for their children just getting starting out on their own (after they buy one for themselves).

This book is the weakest out of the many books on dramatic cost cutting. Out of 500 tips maybe 5 are worthwhile but I'm sure you've thought of these already. It looks to me like the writer saw a hot trend and slapped a book together in a couple of days. I really feel cheated by this book and that hasn't happened in years. Usually in these type of books there are few ideas that are just stunning because there so powerful but not here. Take a look at other authors like Jeff Yeager and others like 10001 Ways To Live Large On a Small Budget for much more quality info. I pay for information to find a handful of amazing ideas that I may not be aware of, not a bunch of general slogans like think before you spend, live below your means or live simply. This book is filled with puffy slogans and virtually no hard information. It's definitely not worth the purchase price. It's also obvious that the writer had friends and family stage positive reviews. If you look many have only reviewed her two books and that's all.

I'm amazed after reading this book that the smallest expenses can turn into lots of "found dollars" over time without feeling deprived. Why spend on items that will inevitably become "stuff" that's really not needed? It not only saves you money, but will reduce the stress factor because you don't have to find "time" to use those impulsive buys. This book contains fantastic ideas for ways to save on beauty, household, travel, entertainment and more. I highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to relearn a simple lifestyle, save money, reduce the stress in your life and become a healthier individual! It certainly shows you the way to become a "frugillionaire!"
