Thank you so much, Lydia. You are too kind. Every now and then I go look at the reviews of authors I love and remind myself that they get 1 star reviews too. 🙂

Saving money and getting ahead financially is almost never a piece of cake. The only reason we are debt free and have our house paid off is because of the things you listed here….and it was a a LOT of intentional, hard work. If saving money was easy and didn’t require any sacrifice, well then obviously most of us would be millionaires already! 🙂

And Kalyn, I hope you can let those 1 star reviews not get you down. Your book was packed with so much practical wisdom. Yes, someone that is already super money savvy may have known a lot of it, but even I who consider myself to be such a person, learned some new things! And it’s a great resource for someone that is wanting to learn how to save money and get a better control of their finances. You did good, friend! 🙂

I challenged myself to no eating out during Oct. I made a list of what I had spent by looking through my debit card charges. Fast food avg. $6 dine in avg. $15 morning coffee and or snacks avg $4 what I decided to do was put this on a paper list for SEEING what I could save and then put that amount in savings at end of month
Just in 2 days I saved 15 not eating out Saturday lunch as I normally do each week and no Sunday doughnuts on way home from church 1.79 ….
Noted down. 16.79 saved already
I’ll let you know how it goes.

Thanks, Sarah. I think that sometimes that the more experienced we are at being frugal the more we may expect to find that “magic bullet” somewhere. I used to think that mindset was specific to spenders.

Esther, you and I think alike! Just how alike? Check out this post that I wrote a while ago. 🙂

I’m so glad you stopped by. I hope you enjoyed your stay and you’re welcome back any time!

Even if some of the things you mention are “obvious”, I think it really helps to have it all laid out right there at your finger tips. It gives you sort of a road map to get started, ESPECIALLY when you are new to being frugal. Don’t let those people get to you. 🙂

Anything that is worth having takes effort and commitment, well in fact all 4 of the elements you describe! Most people don’t like to be told that there is no magic easy way to achieve whatever it is they want to achieve, be it get better at something, lose weight and get fit, pay off debt, save money, you name it. I am a new reader here and haven’t got to “know” you yet, but it just makes me sad that people feel a need to pull others down. I am in awe of your strength: you have the courage to put yourself out there and take the criticism and, most importantly, you learned something from it! Chapeau. Keep doing what you are doing 🙂

I felt that the steps to reducing your expenses were extremely helpful and relevant. However, I totally agree that saving money can’t be done without hard work and I’m so glad you’ve shared your journey with us 🙂
