My thoughts:
This book is just what I needed right now. I am still on the step of getting rid of the clutter in my life and home, something I have struggled with on an ongoing basis for years. I know from past experience that, when I don't have to waste time looking for lost items or wondering where things are, everything else goes so much more smoothly, but it is also so easy to put off. I have also had times in the past where I was great with using coupons and shopping the ads for sales and such, but it is easy to think or feel like you just don't have enough time to do it all. Crystal gave a very clear figure, she said that once you've implemented a tip if it doesn't save you at least $20 or more an hour than it isn't worth the time you are putting into it. I am not sure that I will be using her tip of setting a budget and then only giving yourself cash for the month to meet areas such as groceries and entertainment, but I do plan to set up a budget and use it carefully each month to see where our money is going and how we can make it work for us better for the future.
I loved being able to listen to this while I did chores, drove on errands or while I was getting my running miles in. It gave me something to think about while still getting a lot of other things done at the same time. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a way to gain back control in your life of your finances. I can't wait to put some of the tips to work in my own life.
