I enjoyed the book very much. I consider myself frugal, and my friends consider me frugal, but they ain’t seen nothing yet! I should give them all a copy, but not in my budget.
My only suggestion: As you are a journalist, I expected correct grammar. I was jarred every time I came across a gerund without the possessive, several times in the book.
That aside, I wish that everyone would read it. Thank you.

I’m late to the party. I recently discovered you on instagram and am 90% of the way through your book on my kindle. Loving it. I need to sort out my finances which are abysmal. This seems like a good place to begin. Thank you!

I listened to your book in audiobook form. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a digital page turner. You’ve motivated me to reign in my spending. I hope you continue to write books, because I am already looking forward to your next one!

Congratulations! I’ve just finished an intense “Meet the Frugalwoods” festival! Brisbane Square Library, the temple. I worship at every Sunday (also every Wednesday) heard my request and bought your book!! I got it this morning, and have just finished the last page! I now have whatever the equivalent of indigestion of the brain is called, and was SO sorry to reach the end! I hope you won’t be driven to add to the family to produce another book, but I do hope there WILL be another,your first was such great reading.
Whenever I walk into the library I always experience the. “”Walking into Tiffany’s with someone else’s Platinum Amex” sensation. ANYTHING I want is mine!!.
Thank you for the book,and thank you for sharing your philosophy of joyous spending, so different to the unexamined haemorrhaging of money that society encourages. May you and yours have glorious lives, and may they always be aware of them.

I read this book thanks to my local public library (and I told them to purchase it, so I got first dibs!). Very much enjoyed it, and it has many wonderful frugality tips in addition to being a great read and engaging story. Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Kim.

Tip from a Dutch FIRE convert: You may want to read this one too. Great book on FI in Dutch. Loved it.

In reply to Amy. Thank you so much, Amy! I really appreciate it! And I hear ya on Target--that used to be one of my downfalls too! If you're so inclined, I'd be very grateful if you'd consider writing a review of the book on Amazon. Many thanks!!!

Just wanted to say I bought the book, read it during my metro commute, and found it really inspirational. I’m a little older than you and have been following your blog for a while. I’m pretty good with my money but I now feel inspired to really think about whether each purchase is something that’s serving a bigger goal. I even printed out and pored over six months’ worth of credit card statements — time to start spending less at Target. Thank you and congratulations!
