    Default Curious...What books...

    What books have influenced your frugal life style?

    Most of us have probably read the TWG... But what other books would you recommend?

    I'm reading "True Prosperity: Your Guide To A Cash-Based Lifestyle" By: K.C. Knouse

    I picked it up at the library a few days ago. I also got "The Penny Pincher's Almanac: Handbook For Modern Frugality". I've read both, but am reviewing the first book as I am excited about the envelope system for budgeting.

    Probably old hat for some of you frugal diva's, but it's new to me!
