Would you like to have more money in your pocket or in your bank account, right now? If your answer to that question is yes, then this is the right book for you. Inside this book, you will find more than 500 proven practical ways to help you reduce expenses and save money. If you apply only one simple money saving tip in this book and start to save $2 a day, at the end of the week, you will have an extra $14. That may not seem like much but if you do that for 52 weeks, you will save $728 in one year. What would you do if you had an extra $728 right now? Now, imagine if you applied a few more methods in this book. You could multiply your savings. Imagine saving $20, $50, $100 or even more, every week. That would add up to significant savings very quickly. I am thankful for advice from two special Larrys. One of my teachers, Larry Burkett, provided me with some solid teaching I use in my, Gaining Personal Financial Freedom, seminar. One purpose of that seminar is to help people discover practical principles of finances so they can experience financial freedom. Another mentor of mine, Larry Coy, challenged me to put my materials in print. Because of their advice, my first book, Gaining Personal Financial Freedom, was published some 22 years ago. In my seminar, and in that book, one thing I do is show people a practical way to put together a workable budget so they can accomplish their financial goals. As they work on their budget, many people see they need to increase their income or reduce expenses. In many cases, there is little opportunity to increase income so the only option is reduce expenses. That led me to compile money saving ideas my family and I learned in a book entitled, 112 Proven Ways to Reduce Expenses. That book sold out quickly. Recently, I was on my way to speak at a conference. I knew the trip would take about seven hours and I like to work on projects during those long trips. I decided to make a list of some money saving ideas, to see if they would make a significant addition for a possible revision of 112 Proven Ways to Reduce Expenses. By the time my trip was completed I was surprised to find that list included 250 items. I knew I needed to write this book. That list grew to More than 500 Proven Ways to Reduce Expenses and save money. The majority of the items in this book can reduce expenses and save money for most people immediately. There are some items, which take a little more time and effort before you see the benefits. A few require some expenditure of funds, but the return is often well worth it. Some will only work for people in certain situations, but perhaps one day you, or someone you know, will be in that situation and you will be prepared. Most of these money saving ideas are timeless but some are not. As times change, and especially as technology changes, some of these ideas will no longer work. This book is not the kind you just sit down and read through. The first section includes some warnings and foundational principles, which will help you save money. The last section deals with some timeless principles. The rest of the book is full of money saving tips listed by categories. You may want to jump ahead and look at the categories, which interest you the most or you may want to look in the Index for specific items. I include some personal examples and some good old common sense advice. I trust you will appreciate those. This book would be a great gift for many of people because it contains a lot of helpful information many people would love to know. This is especially a good gift for a graduate, for newlyweds or as a helpful house-warming gift. If you are in a difficult financial situation, do not allow your situation to discourage you. Dig into this book and determine to find the sun behind the clouds. Whatever you do, make sure you live life to the fullest and have fun applying these principles as you get on the path to financial freedom.
