Book Reviews of America's Cheapest Family Gets You Right on the Money: Your Guide to Living Better, Spending Less, and Cashing in on Your Dreams
Book Review: A Good General Guide
Summary: 4 Stars
Interestly, reviewers of books on thrift tend to be very harsh critics. The targets are either censured for being 'too extreme' by one side, or not 'original' enough by the frugal elite. In reality, most Americans are fiscal (and often literal) gluttons, many of whom are eager to latch on to any bit of reasonable advice to cut their spending.
'America's Cheapest Family' fits the bill in this regard. While I agree with another reviewer who described their lifestyle as somewhat 'draconian', I appreciate many of the examples they provided, particularly the chapter on buying a used car. The authors give a great list of questions and things to look for when dealing with a for-sale-by-owner transaction.
At the end of the day, being frugal boils down to spending less. Period. It's really not rocket science. Books like 'America's Cheapest Family' provide motivation, inspiration, and a few handy tips.
