Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I found this book to be helpful in lots of little ways; there were parts that didn’t apply to my situation, but all in all, it really had some great insights into a tough economic time. I liked it!

⭐Lots of great ideas for getting the most out of your buck, and still being able to live an enjoyable life without drowning in debt.

⭐I learned things I did not know. I thought it gave me ways to make a better life. I hope to make use of it.

⭐Great copy. Awesome delivery time. Just as described!

⭐I like it! I don’t have 13 words to say & I don’t see why its mandatory to have a lot to say about MY purchases ~ either I like it or don’t like it ~ why do I have to write a book? why don’t you simply put a brief description in the headliner or summary ~ you should be trying to make it easier for clients to want to leave feedback ~ this is to much work!

⭐If you don’t already know this, you really are in trouble. I didn’t learn a thing from this book. Terrible.

⭐First banks started to wobble, then the stock market crashed. Can it be…a coming recession? If so, what could be better timed than a book on how to live well during a down time.The entire book is an organized plan with how to deal with a recession. First, Barr has you assess your current net worth and shows how to live on a budget. The next section deals with how to get more money: get a better raise, or find a better job, for example.It’s the middle section that deals with how to keep your personal finances in good order and learn to live frugally that most people will find handy. There are tips on insurance, health care, how to best manage your 401(k) and many more. Then come the tips on day to day living. He suggests cheap ways to travel, to save on phone bills and how to throw a party on a budget.The last section is what to do if the worst happens and your financial ship seems headed for bankruptcy.A very useful book.
