<div>When a book stands the test of time as well as doesn't become obsolete quickly, it is often referred to as an evergreen book. The Complete Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn is such a novel (ISBN: 0-375-75225-0). <br>Amy Dacyczyn [http://silentbeacon.com/emergency-alert-system-features/ emergensee] began publishing a newsletter from 1990-1996 referred to as the "Frugal Gazette. " I remember like a subscriber to the newsletter during the time I was deep in financial trouble. I always looked forward to reading the newsletter packed brimming with cost-cutting ideas which came through the traditional mail service then. <br>I remember going to the library to obtain the published books which compiled all the newsletter ideas into one place. Since then, I decided to buy The Complete Tightwad Gazette (used naturally) which compiles all her publications. This 959 page book retails for $19.99 but I purchased it on Half.com for $9.95. It is so packed with ideas that I find myself discussing it often. <br>Amy Daczyczn starts the ebook with the following introduction:<br>"A Word of Caution. Tightwads are naturally unconventional. We push the normal limits to make things stay longer. We reuse things in unusual ways. We experiment constantly to get new, cheaper ways to do every little thing. "<br>You will get an answer to almost any household repair question you may encounter. Some ideas that basically struck a chord with me at night include:<br>1. Replace the heater in the water heater as an alternative to getting a completely new water heater. The holding tank still works. 2. Saving money on the mortgage 3. Recipes for homemade dog biscuits 4. How to sell your property yourself and save thousands in commissions<br>I have been accused of as being a tightwad by relatives and buddies. I just smile simply because they have never read The Complete Tightwad Gazette. If they had, they'd know that I'm FAR from like a tightwad. <br>There is no arguing that Amy Dacyczyn and her family have found financial security by mastering the ability of frugality. She admits to like a compulsive tightwad. <br>"Over many years our average income has become less than $30,000 (including my husband's Navy salary and all the allowances, plus by spotty freelance income). In below seven years we managed to save $49,000, made significant purchases (vehicles, appliances, furniture) of the $38,000, and were complete debt-free! That is once a year savings/investment rate that could reach over $12,500 a year, or 43% of our own gross income. "<br>Oh, yeah, did I mention they've got six kids!?! Wow! I have a great deal of respect to be with her ability to do what she's got done with their modest income. She puts my frugal lifestyle to shame. Amy Dacyczyn will be the Queen Dollar Stretcher i believe, and she's done a wonderful job. <br>It's not impossible to be happy and survive a small income but it's a conscious choice that you need to produce. Is tightwaddery a life-style for you?<br>For me, I'm not a big enough cheapskate to get as tight-fisted with my money and time as the tightwads described in The Complete Tightwad Gazette. However, I go ahead and take ideas which do work within my lifestyle and implement them. <br>I definitely make tradeoffs in my life and attempt to save 20% of my income, which seems pathetic next to the 43% the Amy Dacyczyn seems to sock away. On the other hand, I'm not ready to produce the drastic changes within my lifestyle to arrive at the tightwad level. <br>However, if I eat just about any meal in the home, or bring food from home beside me when I'm going to get away, I treat myself with a dinner out with friends. Admittedly, my girlfriends and I make an effort to always look for a buy-one-meal-get-one-free coupon, but in my experience, as a result things more pleasant. Once we discover a coupon and pick a day to look, we really look forward to the knowledge. <br>Another instance of my cost-cutting efforts is the fact that my neighbors and I really try not to buy anymore household tools or gadgets and instead share all of them with each other. I would much rather spend the money on something more important than hardware!<br>The message because of this fantastic book is not to live a life of scrimping when it doesn't satisfy you. You decide the amount of a tightwad you want being. The spectrum is very wide and it's up to you to strike an account balance. <br>The author, Kimberly A. Griffiths, has been through the vicious cycle of debt herself, and provides a no-nonsense system to managing your money paycheck to paycheck.
