 | Worthless and patronizing Feb 5, 2009 |
Mostly fluff, sometimes worse.
The author totally lost me when she declared that you can allot ZERO percent of your budget for childcare (!!!!!!) Or that you can find livable housing for 25-35% of a single mom's salary! Since these 2 items combined with taxes often consume more than 100% of a single mom's income, the author seems to be completely out of touch with reality as well as her prospective audience.
If you really have never considered shopping at a thrift shop or yard sale, maybe this book will help you. If you regularly eat your meals at restaurants, this book can give you the badly needed advice to cook at home instead. Is there actually anybody out there who does not already know this???
If you are the kind who is going to suddenly save 1,000's per year by giving up that daily $3 latte and $5 daily lunches out, woo hoo.
Most of us reading this book would not dream of wasting our money this way and so do not "save" anything by following this author's "tips" because we never have the money to waste on such things in the first place.
What this book will do for you---try to give you a major guilt trip if you cannot afford to tithe (give 10% of your income to your church) and use your money to pay for basic food and shelter for your children instead.
I strongly recommend avoiding this book and getting a copy of the complete Tightwad Gazette instead. Miserly Moms is another helpful book although tends to focus mostly on cutting your grocery bill whereas Tightwad Gazette gives you lots of ideas on cutting expenses on everything.

For me, this was mostly common sense. Though there is something I disagree with the author on. She suggested figuring out your gross wage for the year and then subtracting them -- then begin subtracting your yearly pymts for daycare, utility, etc... If you're a single parent, you're very aware of having take off for sick days, dr appts... it'd be wise to go month to month -- much easier to adjust with any emergencies.

| As a single mom for ten years, I have searched for a tool that understands the financial burdens of single parenting. I finally found it! Brenda's ability to connect realistically to the demanding life of single parenting brings home solutions to a very practical level. This book is not only for single parents, but also for churches and any organization helping single parents. | | | Write your own review about Financial Relief for Single Parents: A Proven Plan for Achieving the Seemingly Impossible
