    About this ebook

    The author, while sharing parts of his personal story about the struggle of living on a less-than-poverty-level income, reveals the strategies he still uses that keep him from going hungry and being homeless.

    This book is meant especially for those people with the smallest incomes, but will also help people who need to stretch every dollar in their household budget.

    The book contains essential money-saving tips that the reader can start using immediately, and it's possible to save 100 times the cover price in just a few months.

    Also in the book is a link to the book's companion website, where you will find a great number of consumer resources that provide even more in depth details about money-saving tips and cash management strategies.

    Some of what you will find in this book:

    * Strategy for buying, maintaining, and insuring a vehicle

    * Strategy for buying and maintaining/improving a home.

    * Cash management tips

    * Realistic and timely money-saving tips the reader can start using immediately

    * The book goes beyond the traditional advice about coupon-clipping and buying things on sale

    The book's ultimate goal is to help the reader get pretty good at barely getting by.

    Author

    Dale Washington

    I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s. I have done some fiction writing but, to date, only for my personal enjoyment. Because of my finely tuned skill of living frugally (I really have gotten pretty good at barely getting by) and my love of writing, friends and family encouraged me to write this book to help others. I will always be a dreamer of sorts and will continue to channel my energy in positive ways, always reading, always learning, and continuing through the daily struggles of life with a smile. And, as always, I will embrace a frugal lifestyle.
