I'm an avid
Wise Bread reader (if you haven't check out this personal finance blog, it's a must-read). Of course, when I found out the Wise Bread writers had come together to write a book, I just couldn't resist.
Physically, the book has nice, thick pages. It reminds me of a magazine - glossy and colorful.
The book offers a wealth of information. Topics include:
Frugal Living- Food & Drink
- Travel
- Health & Beauty
- Fun & Entertainment
- Shopping & Bargain Hunting
- Green Living
- Education & Self Improvement
Personal Finance- Financial Planning & Budgeting
- Credit Cards & Debt
- Investing Your Money
- Housing & Home Improvement
- Career & Money-Making Ideas
Who would think to find a section on Fun & Entertainment? Usually that category is thrown to the wolves when it comes to frugality. That's what I really like about the book, it's realistic -- just like Green and Frugal Living!
While some info you may have heard before, I did find some golden nuggets. Here are three that I especially liked:
- 13 Free Ways to Wrap Your Gifts in Style
- 8 Tips for the High-End Cheapstake
- 6 Simple Tips for Buying Great, Affordable Wine
While many times I will read a personal finance book from cover to cover and then immediately sell it on Amazon.com,
10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget is very much a reference book that I will continue to use on a regular basis.
