I'm sure that my daughter can get some good information out of this book. It seems to be well-written with a well-developed outline. However, the workbook format of the book itself was disappointing. I should have examined it more closely instead of buying it because the subject and the price were right. Oops!

I got this for my married kids, but had to read it before I gave it out. Some of the stuff I knew, and had used while we lived on a single income years ago.....but some new, challenging info, too. VERY worthwhile reading!

I thought this book would offer insights that my husband and I don't currently know, but it was pretty much info I have heard before. A couple of pages offered some interesting insights to family meetings, but I mostly skimmed the rest.

My wife read this book. She really liked the stories. Some of the suggestions we were already doing, but she has some good ideas to save money. If you are already a frugal person some ideas may not be new to you. We got this book at a value price, so it seems hard to go wrong in purchasing it.

I really love this book because even though I am not married, I have already learned the EASY way to save money. It all starts with a plan. I really love the coupon idea where you save coupons and then use them for the things that you buy and instead of paying $70 dollars you pay $25 and then you have $20 worth savings for the next time you shop... therefore, you really only spent $5. That is excellent way to save!

I recently left my job and returned to full time homemaking. I was looking for some new ideas on how to save money and generate some income. I am an empty-nester, and a lot of the information in the book is geared toward younger families. There were suggestions on home based businesses that I found helpful.
I purchased the book on clearance, therefore, it was well worth the price.

I am a stay at home mom and in our home we only have one income. I bought this book to supplement the information that I already have in place. It is more geared towards those considering going from two incomes to one, although it did have some points that were useful to me it is certainly more geared towards those who are preparing for downsizing incomes not people who are already on a one income, none the less the price and information is of great value.

I am excited to read this book! I am in the process of finishing it right now and have found that the tips are easy to follow. Nothing in here is extreme. I am learning how to live off one income, although we are a two income family right now. We are planning a family and want to have me a SAHM so learning how do cut back now is going to pay off. There are exercises, examples, life stories on every topic. Grocery shopping, buying better clothing at cheaper prices, home business, and much more! Great material to read for anyone who is already on one income and even better for those who are going to be one income soon enough.

This is a pretty good reference for women who need a place to start to become a SAHM. It is also has solid ideas for SAHM's who want ideas to help contribute by providing additional income. It is easy reading with some humor and true stories. I liked it!

I find this book intriguing because of the writing style and humor of everyday situations to which all of us can relate. Although not dealing with the one income situation and retired, I did implement many of the premises of this book to economize and get my family to more solid financial ground. It has excellent suggestions and gives detailed step by step ideas for being frugal and a wise steward.

I was reading this book hoping to find tips that would help us live better on one income, but there wasn't much new information that I'm not already doing. It would be a great tool, however, if you are still living on two incomes and wanting to see how it would look without one. There were great planning tools, worksheets, and comparison charts. If I was still working, it would make me look closer at how much I was actually bringing, and if it was worth the price the famly pays as a whole.

Very good book with lots of practical advice on how to make it on one income. Our family has been on one income since our first child was born 7 years ago and this book offers some helpful advice on how to stretch our dollars even farther.

With the economy at a standstill, I wanted to know my options as a married mother of two. Did not know if or when we may be reduced to one income and what to do if it were to happen. This book helped me tremendously with my worries, fears, and preventative actions.
