Another week, another book, another bunch of plans

This week is almost grown into the middle. I wouldn't say it was easy, but it wasn't in any way hard.
So far, enjoyable. The weather was nice, my nephew turned 16, work is good, colleagues are nice, friends even better. And that even though I have been boring them to tears with my plans. No, not world domination this time, and it would take to much time to plan that on my own anyway. And no fun, hard work, unpleasantness, who'd want that, who has a brain and a working heart? Exactly.
No, my plans concern my finances, my time, my health. Actually, topics a lot of people think about now and then or - like me for the past couple of weeks - all the time.
Well, I had fun, but it is not really amusing to others. At most they might get some ideas for their own plans, if those are going in that direction... You are lucky though, you will be mostly spared. Apart from a new link I put on this afternoon and todays book...

That book is called: the complete Tightwad-Gazette. It comprizes all three books made of the same gazettes, who were sold/ sent out in the 1990ies in the U.S.
It has been compiled by Amy D. You can write out the name yourself from the title. It is pronounced decision. So not as hard, as it looks. She is or was also called the frugal zealot, short: f.z. So for convinience sake we stay with f.z.

This is´, as I wrote, the collection of all  the gazettes, plus a little extra and there are not only her ideas, but also those of her readers, friends, family, aquaintances. A world of information about how to make more out of your money. In times, when a lot of people all around the world are out of work, it seems very helpful. Even if you do not live in the U.S. or have six children or both, there are a lot of hints, that can be used universally. So among all of the books, that I bought without much thought, this has proved a very sensible buy and has actually saved me quite some money and could have saved more, had I been consistent. It is also written in a very nice style and has some good drawings made by the author.

Very much worth the reading and try out. One can not always save a lot of money of course, but it is possible to save some. So, if you get a chance to buy it, then do so and even if you try out even a few of them, you'll see a nice change, without loss of personal comfort.

As to the video today:  Not owned by me. Definitely fun... :-)
Good Night!
