Since the time I got married we've always had to be careful with our money. It seemed there was so little coming in and so much going out! Because our lives depended upon wisdom in our finances, I've always been on the lookout for things to help me in this area. Who couldn't use a little more wisdom, right?
I found a great book to help with that- America;s Cheapest Family Gets You Right On The Money by Steve and Annette Economides. This book holds a wealth of information, tips, and guides to help you get the most for your money, as well as help you avoid buying things that could end up being a burden in the long run.
There are tips on buying groceries, budgeting, what to look for when buying a car, as well as how to keep your utilities low or how to get the best deal on a mortgage. They also include a section on purchasing clothing, finding recreation, taking vacations, and savings and investments, plus more! I, personally, loved their chapter on teaching children about money management.
If you're looking for a guidebook, or just browsing for advice, this book is one that will certainly help in either area of life. And, the best part is that it's written by a couple that practice what they preach, and have been living it since the 1980's. You can visit their website at America's Money Smart Family to find out more, or view their other money saving books.
