Synopsis

As the credit crunch becomes a recession and rising energy prices take their toll on our finances, many of us have little choice but to cut back our spending. But life is for living, so why should budgeting mean a miserable existence? "The Frugal Life: How to Spend Less and Live More" will show readers how to save money by taking control of their finances and adopting a simpler approach to life. Readers will learn they don't have to overspend to enjoy themselves or impress friends. Instead they will discover the pleasures of saving by becoming a frugal shopper, cutting energy and transport bills, growing vegetables and eating wild food, entertaining themselves and their children for free, and enjoying Christmas without debts. In addition it shows readers how to set a budget, cope with redundancy and cultivate a frugal nest egg for the future. Never before has a book on frugal living covered such a wide range of subjects in such detail. What's more, the author has tried and tested many of these ideas herself. "The Frugal Life: How to Spend Less and Live More" will appeal to readers of many age groups and demographics, from the struggling student and first jobber, to families and pensioners getting used to a smaller budget - anyone trying to live life for less.
