A truly excellent book.  Easy to read yet full of valuable information.  This book and the white coat investor blog have already saved me thousands of dollars per year, (potentially millions over my investing career) through education on how to invest on my own, minimize fees, and fire that unscrupulous 'financial advisor.'  Buying this book was probably the best investment I've made in my life.  Thanks Dr Dahle!

The Smartest Way to Save is structured in a such clear and concise format, which results in an accessible read, with many applicable tips on how to save. I cut the section in the back of the book out, so i can reference it frequently. And I plan to read some of the suggested reading books the authors conveniently listed at the very back of the book.
The Smartest Way to Save allowed me to recognize ways to improve, and I  developed a proactive plan to save more.  This is a wonderful reference book and compliments other best selling books relating to saving money, as it touches on so many applicable ways to save that aren't often included in just one book.
I am recently married, and my husband and I have a positive outlook in regards to saving money. We have more insight into what financial independence really means. I feel that this book has the potential to improve many peoples' lives, by improving saving and spending habits. I am looking forward to reading the next book in The Smartest Way to Save Series.

Reading this book will get you really excited about the money you can save through coupling. In one shopping trip, I saved over 65% and paid for this book 10 times over! The clerk was impressed that my savings amount was $15 higher than the amount I spent. Great investment!

I found this book to be very easy to read and informative. Jill has an engaging writing style that pulls you in from the beginning. She gives tons of tips for living frugally as well as pointing you in the right direction if you want to work from home. I also love how she puts a lot of emphasis on setting goals and creating an exact plan for making things work. This is SO important -- I know from my own personal experience. Excellent read!

My husband and I have been looking for ways to save money since a change in our financial situation about a year ago.  Bob Lotich's book "How to Save money-The 21 Day Challenge to Save $500/Month" gave a few good ideas we had not considered and will definitely be trying.  Mr. Lotich offers a lot of ideas and resources right in the book including websites that will help you to find discounts, cut expenditures,  and save.  The best part of the book is that is very easy and quick to read.  You do not have to dig through a lot of fluffy verbiage to get to the tip or suggestion.  Mr. Lotich clearly states the suggestion/tip and then how to put it into action.  Everyone can find at least a few new ideas to try from this book.

I was not one of those people you see with coupons until I read this book. It told me a lot of valuable information on the usefulness of coupons and how much money they could save me. Ever since reading this book I have saved at least $50 with the use of coupons. This goes a long way and is definitely helpful when it comes to other financial needs.

I read this book within two evenings, and will definitely re-read some of the relevant pages whenever I face financial decisions.

The author is definitely on our side! Instead of useless economic theoretizing or promoting hard-to-comprehend financial products, this unique book gives easy-to-understand real-life guidance of financial planning. I love the idea of three pockets (starting from page 102), which should be understood and utilized by all of us! I like the real-life examples and easy-to-read style of the book. I like table 14.1 (on page 222) which gives a clear detailed guidance on safe investment. Most importantly, I will definitely follow the main suggestions of the author on safety, geographic and time diversification, never-stopping search for and avoidance of SPOFs (single points of failure).

What a great book! Must read for everybody!

This is an invaluable book of practical, helpful suggestions on saving money on pet care.  We want the best for our pets, but the rising costs of unexpected vet bills, food, medicine, toys, grooming costs, etc. really add up when you're on a budget. From making your own pet toys and dog treats to how to get major discounts on food from feed stores or coupons from pet food companies, the tips you'll find here can save you considerable money.
I found information here that I had never heard before, like feeding yogurt to your dog or spraying Avon's Skin-so-Soft on his skin to make his coat shiny and healthy and how to prevent ants from getting in your dog's food.  The advice for cats was also good to know. I found out why clumping litter isn't good for my cat and how to easily grow my own "cat grass."
Even though the title offers 101 ways to save on pet care, with the online websites the author has researched, she has provided many more resources than that. Highly recommend this easy-to-read and insightful resource!

With family time constraints I really didn't have time to commit to a long book.  But this book, by a Family Circle columnist, is different from the others.  It can be read at your own pace and you can turn to the chapters you need when you need them.  Each chapter lays out clear steps to follow and is not dependent on having read or used information elsehwere in the book.
First, I wanted to pay off my Christmas shopping bills fast.  In less than 20 minutes I had read and was able to apply the unique money-saving advice to see which bills to pay off first and how to avoid being hit with what Nancy calls costly gotchas.
Next, I was trying to figure out how to save enough money to send my kids to a good college and also make the most of the 401(k)s that my husband and I have available to us.  Again, we just turned to the pertinent chapters.  There were the questions to ask and the steps to follow.
Finally, we were making some changes to our house so we found the advice on choosing a remodeler and paying for the project most helpful.  I really did not know the difference between a home equity loan vs. a home equity line before I read this book but the difference meant a savings of over $3,800 to us.
This is the first book that I have found to be both easy to read and follow. It does contain Simple Money Solutions.  I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.  I even gave copies to several of my friends who were making New Year's resolutions to take charge of their finances.  This book is truly a gift that keeps giving.

This book is not filled with fluff or extreme measures like a lot of save money books. It is though provoking and could really help me save money. It can help people of all ages. And it talks about a lot of aspects of your life. It is definitely something I will keep on my kindle for future reference and reread. Disclaimer: I received this for a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

I have never been able to save money in my 20's, so I started to realize I needed guidance of some sort. So in the past year I have finally started to take my finances and savings more seriously. This book has helped guide me through places where I might otherwise be blind. Before this, I didn't even realize what I was doing wrong, nor did I have the tools to fix it.

The book outlines the fundamental basics of managing money by creating a personal budget, living within your means and managing debt. Once you get all this down you will be ready for bigger finances like investing, buying a home and planning for retirement. There is great advice for making smarter every day purchases as well as bigger ones. Now that I have a financial plan, I feel happier and more motivated because I know where my goals are and how to get there!  I would recommend this book to anyone seeking out financial guidance on their own.

I LOVE this book!  Got it free for my kindle because I love some other things from this author.  I was really surprised by how applicable it is for today.  What do you do with what you have? What would really make one happy?  An entire change of lifestyle?  Maybe not.  Keeping up with someone else?  Maybe.  Saving every little dime?  Hmmmm....  It makes one rethink what you would do with some money windfall like the lottery or an inheritance.  And makes me want to do better with my money.  I will be having my children who are homeschooled read this as an opener to our finances class. It is OLDFASHIONED, and the free version has some editing errors.  That aside, I thought it was grand.  One more title to adore from this author!

I read Broke Millennial in one sitting while on a 15hr flight back home to my "broke millennial" life in New York. Personal finances have always made me (very) anxious, but Erin outlines actionable steps in a way that make it feel easier to take control and do something about this critical component of daily life. I found the sections on budgeting, the various savings plans, and the overview of credit cards extremely helpful. I will 100% revisit this book as a guide to get me to where I want to be financially. I highly recommend this to anyone - whether you are just starting to peek at your savings (even if there are none!), or want to deepen your personal finance literacy. To be honest, I wish I read it earlier.

I really enjoyed this book. I bought it after spending quite a bit of time on her website - which has a lot of information, too. The book gives you step-by-step instructions on how to get started, how to organize your coupons (love my coupon binder!) and best of all, how.to.save.money. Her system works, and I've already saved over 100.00 in under a month. This book is a great resource for anyone interested in couponing. I bought it for my Kindle, and am considering buying a hard copy just to have in my library.
