I purchased this book after seeing the author on a T.V. program. I called my cable company after reading one of the first chapters and was able to get my bill reduced $240.00 a year for the same package! That's about a huge return over the cost of the book for just one suggestion. I have already loaned the book to a neighbor. This book because it is filled with info. for our everyday lives. We work hard for our money but we also need to spend smart.

I would have titled this book "Internet websites that can save you money". Pretty much that's all it is. Not very insightful. Perhaps if you are a younger reader not too familiar with common everyday frugality, it might be worthwhile reading. I expected the book to be a little more entertaining and more connected to the title.

There are so many topics covered here that are really useful. I found the section on buying a used car to be really helpful. I'll now feel armed and dangerous with his helpful advice when I go in to a dealer to negotiate a price on a "new" used car.

I ordered this book to get some creative new ideas to save money, I was not disappointed. I am now a Clark Howard fan. He has a lot of ideas and information that I did not know or think of that he has tried himself. This is a great and fun read.

A little elementary for my taste. I may have picked up a tip here and there, but over all, a wasted read for me. This may be something for the older population, maybe someone who is not too computer literate and needs some tips. I am a Clark Howard fan, but I think I prefer him on television.

I purchased this book for my grand-daughter who will marry in a few months. I have looked thru the book and feel that it covers just about anything they might need to know.It should offer them a bit of security in starting out with financial responsibilities.At the back of the book there is a list of a great many web sites for further information.

the first chapter of this book is great giving you advice on what to do NOW to start saving money. I haven't finished the rest of the book but some of the information doesn't apply to me with my lifestyle.

Clark's book (pre-ordered from the store.com) arrived in the mail on Tuesday, August 2. Five minutes after opening the cover to begin reading, I was online signing up for a $120 reduction in the cost of my husband's prescription drug, using Clark's advice on page 104 to visit the drug website for a co pay card. Talk about a great return on my investment of less than $11 for a book! Can't wait to dig a little deeper and see what other tips he has. Thanks, Clark!

What I appreciate most about the store is that when someone wants a certain item for Christmas, I can depend on the store to have it and get it shipped in plenty of time to give as a gift. This book was requested by my niece and I was happy to find it at the store!

I follow Clark Howard via podcasts and I check out his web site frequently. He is full of great ideas and tips, delivered in a relaxed and friendly manner. I really get the feeling of Clark's sincerity. Not only do I learn a lot from him, but it feels good at the same time. I read almost all the financial literature and I keep up to date on finance and investment. Even so, I am constantly learning new things and tips from Clark, as he keeps his info fresh and updated. Clark has saved me a BUNCH of money. Yes, a lot of the information is available on his web site and (free) podcasts. But some people want to read a book, they don't follow this stuff like some of us do. This book is another method for Clark to reach people, and it's a great read. Clark states on his podcast frequently where, when and how one can buy his book at a discount or to check the book out at the library. But if you like to collect good books, like I do, then this is a great addition to your collection!
