Recommended Money Saving Books

Hi All

Dont know if there is a post on here for recommending a money saving book, if there is, please except my apologies.

So, if you have a favourite book please let us all know.

Apart from my own book, 113 Ways to Save Money Now, i would highly recommend, The Richest Man in Babylon, by George S Clason.

Yes, I can certainly recommend one classic I read when I was younger, that got me started using coupons and being a "frugal queen" in general. Amy Dacyszyn's The Tightwad Gazette, from the 1980s and early 1990s. She focuses on frugal everyday living, from a "Yankee" perspective of the North-Atlantic States. She is no longer writing books, and has kind of retired from private life, but her series of books provide EXCELLENT tips on saving money in many ways that you have never heard of before. She got pretty creative with some of them.

Well, hopefully I won't get into trouble for this, but I just published a book called The Budget of Your Life. It basically explains how I got into 60K of debt and how I eliminated that same debt through better spending, tighter budgeting and also heavy lifting.

Other books that got me through this tough period were Eckart Tolle's The Power of Now! and Leider Shapiro's Repacking Your Bags. While not financially oriented, both books helped me to "streamline" my thinking, which in-turn helped me to budget better.
