    365 Ways to Live Cheap, by Trent Hamm of THE SIMPLE DOLLAR.COM

    Dear All, Grab this book!  It's onllly $7.95.  It came out just a few months ago, so you may have trouble   getting it through your Library (budgets being slashed due to the economy). 

    No book other than Amy Dacyczyn's TIGHTWAD GAZETTE has so many unusual/new tips.  And that is high praise.  Indeed, Mr Hamm has written a succinct volume that does arguably as helpful a book.

    Mr Hamm includes advice like "Never be an early adopter [of new technology]."  "Realllize money doesn't heal a marital problem."  "Pay for car repairs with a credit card [to have protection if you need to get your money back for a bad job done]."  365 VERY helpful tips.

    I cannot endorse this book more highly.  Yours in Hiim, Deb 

    PS He's haaving an even more helpful book comoing out on 4/22.  It's called "1001 WAYS TO  MAKE MONEY IF YOU DARE."  It costs $10.36 at Amazon right now, but if you order it & hte price comes down before 4/22, Amazon will give you a refund.

    I adore his website and have the daily posts emailed to me.  I've learned a lot from him so far, but I've not gotten the books yet.  I should use a 30% coupon from borders.com and pick it up one day.

    That is very sound advice. For years people would make fun of the fact that I never ran out and bought the latest and greatest gadget. These were the same people who would have something break down or fall for the next upgrade. Its best to wait a couple of years until they get the bugs out or the cost comes down.

    Thanks for the recommendation, Deb.  I have been wanting something that is a little more updated than the Tightwad Gazette!
