Living on One Income: A Simple Guide to Making it Work

I've been a homemaker for seven years and through the plentiful times and the not so plentiful times, I have never returned to work in the mainstream. I'd like to avoid it, to be honest. Currently, we are a little above the poverty line in our salary. And life has never been better. We purchased our first home with a paltry loan and even more meager savings during this housing market boom...in Northern California! My dreams of starting a homestead in town have been actualized and we eat like royalty. Well, maybe upper class. We are thriving and having so much fun with our life even with the paychecks getting smaller. How is that? I have learned and so many tools, tips, and wise advice over the years from friends and homemakers living on a thread. Although we go in and out of being frugal, nowadays I practice all I've ever learned to stretch the funds; making tubs of laundry soap, baking my bread, having a kitchen garden and hens in my backyard, throwing parties with little cost, buying organics and other groceries on a small allotment, and much more. This book was written to support all of you on small allowances or sudden life changes that leave you stressed and fearful about how to make it all work. I will show you step by step. Let's brew some coffee and learn how to live frugally and fabulously.
