The Money Saving Mom's Budget - Audio Book Review

I've been reading Money Saving Mom's site for the last 2+ years, her money saving tips are always beneficial and encouraging to me (she always shares great recipes and testimonials too!).  Living life isn't all about money, but having financial goals and a vision can make life so much less stressful!

Since I read MSM's site I didn't know if I'd learn that much new from this book but I was so surprised!  Crystal is all about making things manageable and not biting off more than you can chew.  She breaks down everything into steps and makes something like budgeting easy!

This book has more than just money saving tips & budgeting, it's also filled with helpful tips on time management, organizing, de-cluttering your home, etc.

I was very encouraged by this book and feel even more motivated to press forward, blessing my family (with much help from my husband) by managing our finances best to my ability!  I thoroughly enjoyed having this as an audio book too as I was able to listen to it while still being able to go about doing my daily tasks! :)
