about The Only Budget Book:
Do
you find the idea of cleaning toilets more interesting (and even more
rewarding!) than talking about budgets? Does having (and following) a budget
scare you?
Do you want to
successfully live with a budget but no matter what you have tried, you have not
been able to successful make, keep and track your financial life with a budget?
This electronic,
downloadable book is written to anyone looking to get into, fall in love (or
back in love) with or receive tips and resources to get started on the right
track to being successful financially, with budgets.
It sure is the
dreaded b..b…b “B” word and for good reason! Budgets make people scared,
confused and self conscious and let’s be honest, most of the time we would
rather just not do it. If this is you, grab this good read and get back on
track.
Lauren writes in a
fun but educational way that brings the important topic the time and respect it
needs.
Once downloaded and
saved or printed, it can truly be “The only Budget Book” you will ever need.
…and thank goodness
for that!

ReplyDeleteDo you let the book stew – leave it for a month and then come back to it to edit?
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteMai T: yes, very much so! It was such an important topic to me, to write, that I had to have a few people in my field review, those not in my field then give it a break and come back and make sure it was where I wanted it and it still made sense.
A question for everyone as well: why do you think a book only about budgets is so important to write and to read?
Sounds like a good book, thanks for sharing!
