review 1: This book had a lot of good information and online references to get started in frugal living. I think the book is for people who are voluntarily choosing this lifestyle, not those who are forced into it because of a lack of money. Even though she gives examples of how to save more and spend less, she is still SPENDING! While she talks about whether to buy a new or used car or lease, what about learning to live with a clunker or how to use public transit? What about trying to be frugal in a ridiculously high cost area? I guess that's another book.
review 2: This book is sad. It reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons in which Homer loses his job and they economize by squishing all the last slivers of soap into a ball of soap slivers. The most poignant was th... moree calculus for spending money on clothes. If you're at a thrift shop, do buy the Land's End coat with the lifetime warranty because it means that it will be the last coat you will ever buy. Bless her Land's End coat wearing heart. I am no spendthrift, and I was raised to live poor, but buying one coat to last for the rest of your life, and it being Land's End (!) is letting the terrorists win. less
