Giveaway: The Good Life for Less

I recently had a chance to read The Good Life for Less: Giving Your Family Great Meals, Good Times, and a Happy Home on a Budget. The book is written by Amy Clark, the creator of MomAdvice.com, an online community where mothers and homemakers can discuss the issues that are most important to them. It comes out of experience - she and her husband had financial difficulties in the past, and used the principles outlined in this book to overcome them.

One caveat: the "good life" does not include expensive houses, fancy cars, or designer jewelry. Instead, it focuses on the "good" intangible things: a healthy, happy, loving family. If you have these expectations, then the book is a good read. Personal experience books, I think, make the best self-help books, because it's not just some "expert" preaching at you - it's someone who's been there and lived through it.

The book is well-written and practical, a good guide for anyone who wants some help changing their financial situation.

I have the chance to give a copy away. To enter, leave a comment with your favorite thrifty tip. Deadline is January 8th.

Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of the book to facilitate this review.
