10 Money-Saving Resources You Can’t Live Without
Dave Ramsey is legendary, and his ministry has helped my husband and I make sound decisions and learn the basics of money. Check out the Complete Guide To Money! It will help inspire you and sustain you!
In my early days of marriage, the young moms at my church formed a coupon club and we each read The three-volume set of The Tightwad Gazette. It has now been turned into one large tome filled with tons of thrifty ideas. You will get your money back ten times over after purchasing this book even if you only use a quarter of these imaginative ideas. The illustrations are fantastic too!
It should be no surprise that Dave Ramsey made the list twice. My husband and I took Financial Peace University in a small group at our church. This is a hopeful and detailed program to get even the worst debt-ridden families the help they need. No shame just real help! Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University Membership Kit even comes with materials including the member workbook, Dave Ramsey’s Complete Guide to Money, and the envelope system. The workbook follows along with each video lesson, highlighting valuable information and providing space for you to record key takeaways.
The best-selling book, Dave Ramsey’s Complete Guide to Money, provides you with practical answers to the “How?” “What?” and “Why?” questions about money. And finally, the envelope system is Dave’s easy-to-use cash management system: Put money in. Take money out. Stay on budget! Financial Peace University now includes *NEW—One-year access to online video lessons *NEW—One-year subscription to EveryDollar Plus *NEW—Debt snowball tool.
The Treasure Principle is a heartfelt and beautifully written book about God’s view of money. This is a quick read that provides the knowledge you need to help you in viewing and using your finances in God’s way. Enter into the joy of giving!
The Infographic Guide to Personal Finance: A Visual Reference for Everything You Need to Know is just a wonderful book for all those who are visual learners and find grasping personal finance difficult. I enjoyed looking through the infographics and found them easy to understand. You will like this book!
This book does exactly what it says it will do, Cut Your Grocery Bill In Half! Simple, easy to read, and practical. Apply these money-saving tips and reap the benefits!

Money Secrets Of The Amish by Lorilee Craker is a joy to read. I feel fortunate to live in Ohio where many Amish families are living and I enjoy the benefits of this simple culture. This book typifies Christ-Centered Slow Living through the many examples of how the Amish live simply, sharing what they have, and saving for the future.
I stumbled on Thou Shall Prosper: The Ten Commandments For Making Money while perusing Dave Ramsey’s website. He highly recommends this book and I do too. I learned more about the Bible and how it views money than any other book I have ever read. I have since heard Rabbi Daniel Lapin speak and he is just as funny, smart, and engaging in real life.
Little House Living: The Make-Your-Own Guide to a Frugal, Simple, and Self-Sufficient Life is not just a pretty coffee table book! It clearly shows you how to achieve a frugal life. This beautiful book provides you with all the homemade projects and recipes you will need to live a simple beautiful life!

I love Dave Ramsey! Someone gave us his book for our wedding and it was one of the best wedding gifts we received! I’m headed to go check out your other suggestions!
Thanks Kristie! We LOVE Dave! I love the idea of giving his books as wedding gifts. Since finances are said to break up many marriages I think it is a tremendous idea for a wedding present. I plan to stock up and start giving them out as wedding presents from now on. Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Great choices!
Thanks Erwin!
