5The Smartest Way lays out some of the best ways to deal with financial difficulty  Aug 11, 2009
Written in a language that we can all understand, THE SMARTEST WAY TO SAVE shows all members of the family how they can work together in order to deal with difficult financial times.

The authors have taken their own personal experiences and expertise and combined them to the readers' benefit. You might not be able to use all of the tips, but you will find a handful that fit your own situation.

Definitely a book you want to keep somewhere handy.

5Valuable Guide to Save Money  Jul 21, 2009
This book is the gold standard of financial guides. It has cogent, commonsensical, comprehensive ways to save money and plan for the future. The information is easily accessible. The arguments are very persuasive. The vision easy to see. The writing is outstanding, which is rare for books in this field. It is sensibly priced. This is a fine book which has made a profound difference in my spending and savings patterns. I highly recommend it, particularly to people (like me) who need extra effort to save.

5Thought provoking  Jun 11, 2009
This book reminded me of all the things I knew and had forgotten somewhere along this journey. It made me take an inventory of my life. It also helped me understand that it is never too late to start saving, that I can take it one day at a time, and still make a big difference in the long run. Cosmetics Company Director

5Just Plain Smart!  Jun 04, 2009
The SmartestWay to Save is actually brilliant. Not in that it reveals top secret information, but because it is honest. Simply speaking, The SmartestWay to Save reminds you of a loving fathers conversation with his son regarding money. From cover to cover, you'll find tips to saving on car shopping, clothes buying and grocery expenditures. You'll see the best way to avoid credit cards and should you already have them? The smartest way to get rid of them.

Nothing disclosed that will shock the average reader, yet the secret to its success is nothing short of clever. What lies within the 200 pages of this green and yellow book is common sense. Yep. As simplistic as it sounds, not one page contains anything more than common sense. These are things we all should know. Yet, somewhere along the way, we forgot or perhaps just quieted the voice inside that tried to keep us out of spending trouble. When you break it down to the smallest seed of wisdom, it hinges on this. It's not what you make that matters-it's what you save. I know. How complicated is that? If you are willing to use a little, small, minute amount of self control, great gains can be made in your wallet.

Read page eight and figure out why you spend. Are you rebelling against parents that were penny pinchers? Is it easier for you to spend than build relationships? Do you feel you deserve luxuries because you work hard? (you can thank the media for that one!) Once you identify the reason, determine to stop spending and start saving. Do you have $20 a month you can save? Watch that add up to over $112k over the course of 40 years. Do you know that asking "What can you do for us on this?" can save when it comes time to buying appliances, purchase property insurance or any other purchase?

The goal is to save as much as you can, be smart about what you do spend, and enjoy life, knowing your finances are in your control and not controlling you. The SmartestWay to Save is highly recommended for those wanting financial freedom and the knowledge to getting it done.

5This should be a textbook!  Jun 02, 2009
Every high school student should have this book as their "financial bible" with a class built around it. The Smartest Way is easy to read and gives good basic lessons on how to save and spend money. Heidi and Sam's experiences illustrate the topics, making them easy to understand.
Great gift for grads!
