Summary: Smart, practical advice
Review: "Don't waste money, spend it", was a very powerful and important book for me. It gave me some substantial strategies for handling money issues, which we all have. I found it very easy to read because the author gave many clear illustrations of how we waste money and time. I think that the true life stories in the book were very funny, yet we can all see ourselves in these characters. I actually made a copy of the list of money saving tips and taped it to my refrigerator! I intend on giving this book to all my friends because everyone can benefit from this very essential information in this book. I loved it and will read it over and over. Ms. Wysocki is a real guru!

Summary: Smart, practical advice
Review: I read this book cover to cover and found it one of the best set of guidelines for spending wisely. Unlike many financial advisors, this book doesn't advocate you become a miser, rather shows you how to spend on quality, not quantity - provides simple tools for assessing real need - and provides insight into money saving techniques I never thought existed. I started using the author's advice the very day I finished the book - and saved about $200. For example, I had no idea you could negotiate your physician's bill. I especially enjoyed the techniques for "money recovery" -- how you can give your money a second chance if you happen to waste, not spend. If you're a parent, or an uncle (like me) there's a special section on kids you won't want to miss. Ms. Wysocki is down to earth, practical, respectful of her audience and doesn't admonish them for being wasteful in the past, rather what they can do, starting today ("Remember, I'm on your side" she states near the end). It reads almost like a novel - showing you how to spend by illustrating of real-life events, situations and stories - many are hilarious. If you like to laugh, you'll love this book. If you want to spend while you save, read it today.

Summary: If David Sedaris and Suze Orman...
Review: If comic genius David Sedaris and financial wiz Suze Orman had a child it would be the funny and finanically savy Lisa Wysocki. Her book offers hilarious, yet very pratical advice on ways to save money that are painless and yet add up. You don't need to understand stock futures and she won't tell you how to turn "no-money-down" into a financial real estate empire, but rather she imparts smart and practical advice to spend money wisely and cut corners in a way that every family member can understand. I was so inspired by her ingenuity and entertained that I ordered 9 copies for every woman in my very well-heeled women's group. I'm sure that by following Lisa's counsel, we will all find a way to squeeze another pair of Manolo Blanik shoes out of our budget. And, I laughed myself all the way to the shoe department!
