  • Not what I was looking for

    I was looking for a book where I could find some useful budgeting tips or ideas to stretch a dollar. This book contains neither. It's more like a Sophie Kinsella novel with the author detailing her obsessive spending and shopaholic behavior. Most of the "advice" is useless, but some is truly awful. For example how she encourages the reader to donate any and all items, despite their age or value, for the soul purpose of eliminating clutter then details her $500 Target spending sprees to fill her own home up with more stuff. I also thought the one about spending an hour a day,everyday, cleaning your house was laughable. I hated how she kept deferring to her website where you can purchase numerous books, planners and printables. I think the authors heart is in the right place, but feels a little bit like taking sobriety counseling from a practicing alcoholic. Not to mention she's all over the place in her writing. None of the chapters follow the theme set by the chapter title, and the quotes and scriptures she uses have nothing to do with the content. If you are looking for real, useful advice on budgeting and living well I highly recommend anything by Steve and Annette Economides. As for this book, save your money.

  • Good start but not much substance

    This book provides a great start for anyone who thinks their overspending habits are hopeless, but I didn't find much inspiration for maintaining a "just enough" lifestyle. I was also very surprised that when I logged on to Ms. Soukup's website that I received many follow-up e-mails trying to sell me her products :-(
