Description
Simple practical ways to save money in your household. Live Well Spend Less is a simple, practical and definitely not boring book on living well while spending less. It will appeal to families, students, flatmates and fixed income households.
It incorporates tips, suggestions and serious strategies with a light-hearted, easy-to-apply, and honest approach. Covering all aspects of life, there are suggestions for making money as well as using less of it.
Sophie Gray, also known as the Destitute Gourmet, wants to motivate and encourage rather than hector and lecture. This is not a book about investment, mortgage repayment, or banking. Each chapter includes immediate as well as longer-term suggestions. The immediate ideas aim to capture initial enthusiasm and motivation, while longer-term strategies will result in bigger savings given time or effort.
Topics include: food, energy, cleaning, cars, outdoors; family life, kids and money, leisure, celebrations, looking sharp and presents.
