Financial book from library

I've started reading one of the financial books I got from the library. It's called "Miserly Moms - Living Well on Less in a Tough Economy" by Jonni McCoy. I had never heard of this book before, but thought I would check it out, even though I am not a mom. So far I'm really enjoying the book, it's easy to read and understand and you can take away from it, what pertains to your own situation. She works on the concept of 'Eleven Miserly Guidelines' some of them that resonate with me are:

1. Don't Confuse frugality with depriving yourself.
2. Remove little wasters of your money.
3. Cut back on meats.
4. Cook several meals at once and freeze them.


I like to think that I already do these things, but it's always a good reminder and motivator to keep on track. I need to keep telling myself that in order to retire comfortably in 22 years, I need to make these changes now.
