My husband and I are always looking for ways to make the dollars stretch especially this year as I started homeschooling and we added our 4th child to the family. Would love to receive this book, read it, recommend it, and pass it on to others.

I am attempting to do the cash/envelope system to help me budget. My husband pays all the regular monthly bills, but I do all the grocery shopping and clothes shopping with cash. I’ve still got a ways to go, but we’re getting there! (by the way, I regularly read your blog, and attended your “Marriage Made in Oz” workshop on Saturday. Thanks for the encouragement!)

I am now home with my two boys and we are living on less than half of what we did before we had children. It is hard an God is helping me learn how to use coupons and enjoy free family fun. I could greatly benefit from this book. Blessings to you!

I think the key to being able to be a stay at home mom is living the less is more lifestyle. Unfortunately, sometimes our kids feel like Austin! I’d love to receive a copy of this book to pass on to my oldest daughter. Though we lived it, she is having a hard time implementing it in her young adult life! (I think that she saw the more part (like a family trip to Europe when she was in high school) but didn’t recognize the years of living on less to provide it. Wish I could have gone with you to Hearts, Karen. Miss you! Jeanne

I’d love a copy of this book. Our biggest frivolous expense is restaurant meals. But getting on the same page financially is our biggest challenge. I’m a saver, he’s a spender and it can be hard to meet in the middle.

Thanks,
Sherry

This past year my husband and I participated in the Financial Peace Class by Dave Ramsey. Let me tell you, that 13 week course really opened our eyes to how everything that we did financially was so worldly. We have started putting most of those lessons into practice and are continuing to strive to please God with our money instead of our neighbors or the way the world does things with money. We are finding that it is really ok to not drive a brand new car or to only eat out once a week (actually this is so much healthier for our family!). I would love to receive more advice and continue improving our family financially. I am thankful to Jill for sharing her story of finances to encourage others who are going through similar situations! Thank you and God bless!

Thank you for this post. We have been living on a tighter budget for almost a year. My resolve has started to wane a little. I would love to read this book for a little boost.

I’d love to hear their perspective on it! $$$$$ I’m a natural saver, but I also love giving gifts so not being able to shop for that is hard for me and my love tank!
