The Smartest Way to Save

There's a new book to help cope with the recession: TheSmartestWay to Save, Why You Can't Save Money and What to Do About It.

The concise guide is packed with pointers to help all ages and incomes keep resolutions to:
  • batten down the hatches for the rainy days looming on the horizon
  • rescue themselves from drowning in a sea of toxic debt
  • spend more time with loved ones and spend money on what really matters
  • save money on clothes, gas, cars, food, parties, and more
  • get started on the road to financial independence

The book gathers the best new ideas on how to spend less, save more, and feel good about it, including hundreds of practical suggestions to get quick results to make funds work harder. It advocates aligning priorities with core values, plus explains psychological blocks to saving and what to do about them.

The authors provide two distinct perspectives, and their stories encourage readers to realistically face their economic situation. Samuel K. Freshman, Esq., a Stanford University Law School-educated businessman, is chairman of Standard Management Company, which manages more than $400 million of real estate assets and business enterprises. Journalist and editor Heidi Clingen has been on the staff of The Wall Street Journal and Apparel News Group. She holds degrees in journalism, screenwriting, and grant writing, and edits a consumer newsletter.

TheSmartestWay to Save is the first in the TheSmartestWay to Succeed series, published by Los Angeles-based Straightline Publishers, LLC. The second volume, TheSmartestWay to Save
More, How to Survive a Recession, is scheduled to be published Spring 2009.

I loved this book. I keep it with me at all times. As silly as it may seem, it has become my reference guide. The book talks about why some people who have small incomes get rich and some people with big incomes go into bankruptcy. It's all about how we think about money. Simple and practical. The Smartest Way to Save book is for the "people".
