An Interesting Book

Money Secrets of the Amish is an easy read, and is full of helpful examples and tips. The author does a good job of making thriftiness something fun and easy to do. Her examples from real life people (not all of whom are Amish)are easy to follow and easy to implement. She covers everything from saving money to resourcefulness with the money and possessions one already owns. She gives good examples of what NOT to do with money (ie. waste it on credit card fees, "sales" at favorite retailers) in addition to her own process of the whys and hows of managing money.

This book is not a stuffy textbook on Economics, but instead is a witty, practical book covering money management in real life America, where most of us have too much stuff and not enough time or money to handle the afore mentioned "stuff".
