Get your butt in gear!

I've listened to this twice. While I like Dave Ramsey's bully approach to being frugal, Crystal Paine goes into detail with exact direction and a lot of "you can do this!" kindness.

Great points!

I highly recommend. Take what you want from this and leave the rest- I probably won’t be doing coupon clipping as it’s not worth my time when I already purchase the basics and the things I buy are not typically on sale. I’m also watching what I eat so going “meatless” is counterproductive to my ‘getting healthy goal.’ As I focus on proteins. I will be going straight cash and dividing up my funds so everything has a purpose- great idea!

Practical, good advice

I've seen Crystal speak, what a lovely lady. Enjoyed listening to this in her own voice

some good information

The book is narrated by the author who can be a bit of an uptalker... (you know? they often sound like they're asking questions? when they're not?) so it can be a bit distracting at times, especially when she's listing items. Some good practical tips though.

Awesome read and great advise for everyone.

So much helpful information and knowledge shared in this book. A real gem of wealth and abundance it truly is.
