Back to Basics

How can we cope with the difficult economic situation we are facing? By re-discovering the traditional values of work, thrift and self-reliance. This is the formula that is suggested by Franz Sidney in her mildly humorous, down-to-earth, politically-incorrect book. Franz has written her book to help others who kept asking how they could improve their situation, whether they were poor, just coping, or well off. Here you will find detailed, step-by-step instructions to apply to any aspect of your life that you wish to change for good. Topics range from gardening for beginners to making your own toiletries, smart shopping techniques and methods for making your children earn their gifts. This book will give you enough information and motivation to get started right away, become more independent and enjoy the process. But this is just the beginning: you can join a community of like-minded people through Franz’s blog on http://backtobasicshub.blogspot.com; here you will be able to contribute with your own ideas and ask questions on any aspect of self-reliance.
