Small Change

savvy — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 13:00:06 +0000

I just finished reading Small Changethis book by Sheila Roberts. I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s enjoying on its own but it includes money tips in order to help readers save money. It was very well-written and I really felt like the main character was speaking to me. So much, in fact, that I kind of wonder if it’s at least semi-autobiographical. So all that said, I’m giving away a copy of the book (gently read). To enter the giveaway, leave your best money saving tip in the comments. A winner will be chosen by random next Friday.

Another Book Giveaway!

Recession vocabulary is everywhere—“recessionista”, “staycation”—but when it comes to changing habits, how can we actually go from being shopaholics to penny pinchers?

The answer comes from a surprising source—bestselling author Sarah Strohmeyer’s new novel THE PENNY PINCHERS CLUB. In it, Kat Griffiths has never saved a penny in her life. But when she begins to think that her husband is leaving her, she decides to kick her spending habits and prepare for divorce. What ensues is a hilarious, uplifting and heartwarming story about how hardship can lead to happiness.

THE PENNY PINCHERS CLUB is the perfect beach read for those in a funk about the recession.

I’m giving away TWO copies of this book. To enter, just leave a comment on this post. The contest will end next Friday at 5pm EST.

Nothing Much

I forgot to announce the winner of last week’s book giveaway! Product Junkie Diva, please e-mail me with your mailing address.

Tax season can be somewhat busy for me. In addition, I recently returned from a long weekend of skiing. Therefore, I haven’t been doing much with my personal finances. I have noticed that mortgage rates are still decreasing though. A refi is so tempting.

That said, I promise to get back on the bandwagon soon. If you haven’t filed your taxes yet, you only have eight more days so hop to it!

Book Giveaway!

I recently read the book Living Rich for Less. It was a quick read and had many useful tips for those still trying to pare down their budgets. Therefore, instead of letting the book collect dust on my bookshelf, I’ve decided to give it away to one of my fabulous readers. Simply leave a comment detailing one of your own budget tips and you’ll be entered. You can leave as many tips as you want but only one entry per person. I will announce the winner on Saturday morning.
