Product Description

Product Description

Living Cheaply teaches you how to survive in these harsh economic times. It teaches you to find the least expensive option when presented with life's every day puzzles. If you want to pay less in rent, if you want to spend less on food, if you want to make technology work for you to decrease your cost of living, or if you want to make your hobbies pay for themselves (or more!), then this is a book that you need to read.

My goal is to save you at least £1,000 per year. No matter what your walk of life is, £1,000 is nothing to be sniffed at. It is my hope that with very little effort, you can make small changes to your life that will add up to a massive change in your lifestyle! Often times these changes are so minor, that you forget that the change has been made. Often times, a one time effort can, over time, yield a windfall of positive cash flow!

Many people who I've talked to think that saving money is a stodgy, boring activity. I've found that in my effort to save money, I discovered a plethora of wonderful activities that I wouldn't give up for the world! You can save money by discovering the joys of cooking, gardening, exercising your creative mind, interacting with your friends and your family, and exploring the great outdoors. This book will explain how you can find a better life even while becoming better prepared for your future.

In the end, the specific examples that the book provides can be broken down into general rules. Rules to live by. Rules that I hope will become part of your mindset whenever you consider spending your hard earned money. In this way, Living Cheaply is as much a general guide as a list of specific examples. You'll learn to look at every day economic decisions in an entirely new way.

4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining and useful book 26 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had my doubts about this book as so many are written that are full of "money-saving ideas"that are just common sense..this book actually had some good ideas relevent to us in England and the author talks a lot of sense.Overall a worthwhile read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for 85p 28 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Normally I just get free books for my Kindle but I thought I'd chance this for 85p. It's not bad; quite well researched with lots of comparisons of different lifestyle choices in order to get the best from your money. Although the author has worked as an estate agent he gives a fairly reasonable and impartial analysis of renting versus buying your home. I felt that despite the title,some of the book had been aimed more at a US audience (suggesting you get a private pilot's licence is never going to save you much money in the UK!). Shooting, a popular pastime in the US, has never really been a subsistence activity in the UK and the hassles involved in doing simply aren't worth it in my opinion. Mr Ricardi puts great store, rightly, by questioning received wisdom on things, but in the chapter on cycling states 'every medical agency agrees on the benefits of wearing a helmet in the case of an accident' which is not the case; professional opinion is not unanimous on the benefits of helmets. That's a side issue anyway; overall it's quite a good book that even experienced frugal livers will find of interest.
