How to Save Money Without Going Crazy

by Beth Jones

How many times have you heard these words flow freely from the lips of someone you're discussing finances with? How many times have you uttered them yourself? The truth is that while money certainly can't buy happiness, it can certainly buy quite a few things. Whether you want books, a hefty retirement account, a big family vacation, a new car, or even just some new CDs, having money is one way you can get the things that you want.

Unfortunately, many families find that saving money is nearly impossible. Once you make your car payment, mortgage payment, electricity payment, cell phone payment, and any credit card payments, even trying to afford groceries can be a challenge. Sometimes it may be easy to wonder how so many people seem to be doing so well when you just can't seem to get ahead.

If you're feeling frustrated with your finances, then this book is for you.
