Summary: If you're broke or having money problems, buy this book now!
Review: Has worrying about money or paying your bills ever kept you up at night? Me, too. Until I found this book. About 7 years ago, our family was suffering from unbelievable money problems. Depressed and confused, I decided to stop by the bookstore and browse the personal finance section. There was only one problem. I didn't have twenty or thirty dollars to buy money management advice. I decided to get Mary's book and could not believe how many great examples and strategies she gave for reducing debt.
By following Mary's instructions, our family quickly began reducing our debt and wiped out almost $ 20,000 of credit card bills within a few years.
Her book is my money "Bible" and like scriptures in a holy work, I have highlighted paragraphs on almost every page that give insights into a subject that had always been beyond my control. This book saved my marriage and brought me peace.
I highly recommend it. . . to everyone.

Summary: Horray for Cheapskates!
Review: I had purchased a book (The Financially Confident Woman) by Mary Hunt, and HATED it!! If I had realized this book was by the same author, I would never have bought it - luckily, I didn't. It is a comprehensive, well-written, and most of all - non-"preachy" book which has been a huge help to me in controlling my debt. I recommend it highly. Read it once, read it twice, things will begin to click and you will realize it CAN be done. Thanks, Mary Hunt.

Summary: Great Ideas For Mainstream America
Review: In these tough economic times, this book is more important than ever. I liked the Tightwad Gazette better, but only because it was closer to where I was in my Frugal Jorney. This is a guide for those who never thought about thrift. Those who never set foot in Goodwill before and are living the American Dream...conspicuous consumption and debt up to their eyebrows! Mrs. Hunt is candid and opens her life to the reader. She tells how to get off the crazy, spendaholic merry-go-round and examines the reasons why people spend too much. Then, she shows how to fix it. Thank God we weren't in as much debt as she was, but she showed us how to fix the debt we had. For that, I am forever in her "debt." =) This is advice I never could have gleaned from the Tightwad Gazette, as Amy D. and her family did it right from the start. Defintiely a great read!

Review: Mary Hunt teaches us, with the wisdom of her personal experience, how to turn our financial nightmare into financial ease.Her writing style is concise, educational and entertaining. She teaches how to save, give, plan and rapidly repay debt. And even after we're done with the book and on the path to fiancial ease, she helps us stay there through her monthly newsletter (on-line or in print).This book brought me peace of mind, which positively affected every single area of my life! Thanks, Mary!

Summary: Easy, Cheap and Practical
Review: Mary Hunt's book is great. I read it quickly. I understood all the concepts and have been able to actually apply them. The thing I loved most is that is she was once like the rest of us - working, creating debt and figuring out how to manage it. She made her mistakes and learned from them and I admire that too. SHe lays her experiences on the line for us to learn from and hopefully not to repeat them. I am still using the concepts today.
