momto2Cs Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I am really trying to tighten down our budget so as to put more in savings, pay off a few debts, etc., so I am looking for any and all tips. What are some of your favorite books on living frugally/cheaply? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon H in IL Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Shattering the Two Income Myth by Andy Dappen -- kind of dated, but good for getting the brain working and sparking some good thinking. The Two-Income Trap by Elizabeth Warren -- this is more of a policy argument, not so much a how-to. I just found its arguments intriguing and well-researched. The best of all is The Tightwad Gazette. Written by someone whom we all wish lived nearby so we could be friends. Making frugality fun. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
