"Budget" - it's a meager little word, one that all too often comes after "tight"...
Maybe you think of this word as an adjective, something to describe a cheap and substandard car or hotel. "Budget" brings to mind rationing, a kind of money diet.
If you're like many people, budgeting is something you do with a kind of deflated spirit: budgeting means bargain bin quality and the sad sense that what you want is going to be just out of reach.
This book will try a different approach to budgeting altogether...
In this Book On Living Frugally, you will discover:
- Chapter 1: Life in frugal land
- Chapter 2: My kitchen
- Chapter 3: Two lessons I learned from poor friends
- Chapter 4: Cleaning
- Chapter 5: The garden
- Chapter 6: From tightwad to Relaxed frugal
And so much more!
Life is short. Money and material things can make our time on this earth better, and they can help us move closer to what we find meaningful and worthwhile. But they are not meaningful and worthwhile in themselves.
Money is a tool and how we spend it is an expression of our values and what we think is important.
How much would you pay for peace of mind and the calm you get from knowing you are living well? How much of your life do you give away when you work? Of all your expenses, have you remembered to include the time you waste stressing about money?
This book may contain the answers.
