This personal finance book is a bit different from most.

The book is divided into three section. There is a section for travel, shopping, and personal finance.
A large portion of the book is dedicated to the travel section. There are tips and suggestions on how to save money on hotels, vacations, air travel and much more. Wilson explains such things as how to achieve elite status with business travel and how to build more frequent flyer miles.
In the shopping section Wilson details how to save time and money by shopping at warehouse clubs and online. He explains how buying in bulk saves money and having items delivered to your home saves in time and gas.

In addition, he explains how to clean up your credit report and add points to your credit score. Another topic Wilson goes into details about is how to reduce your cable cost and much more.

Thanks for visiting today. Do you have any tips for saving time when shopping or for saving money on the items you purchase?
Mason - What a useful book! There are, I'm sure, dozens of large and small ways in which we could save money and this sounds as though it's got lots of terrific ideas. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI would say that planning is always key. You are much more likely to save money by planning your spending versus finding a lucky bargain. Even though I don't buy the newspaper, I do use coupons from online and plan shopping for when items are on sale. These tips have really helped my family as we have been especially hard hit by the recession.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great book. I try to spend carefully. I hadn't really thought about saving gas by having items delivered but it makes sense.
