Ways For Women to Work Through the Recession

I'm a single mother of three, who homeschools, and also works part time. Long before the economy crashed, I began looking at sustainable ways to live, and so now I am also thinking about bartering as a way to make ends meet. I would be interested in reading the book however, and I think all of the ideas she says she is covering in the book would be very meaningful to me.

I agree with Sanja. I would prefer to find a way to fix the small problem myself rather than spend money I would like to use to pamper myself or reserve for an emergency. Recently, I joined a book club, Double Day, and I got to receive five books for about .20 cents. I took advantage of that deal and ordered a repair book. Ha Ha Ha. I win.

Good idea...can always learn new ways of cutting corners. I'll have to check this out at the library tomorrow. :)

Keto seems to be offering down-to-earth guidelines, rather than high-flown investing strategy we can get from other sources. Sounds like this book would appeal to most women, especially women who have not already learned some of these skills. I've been a stay-at-home mom for most of the last 15 years and have already implemented many of these strategies.

The book does have interesting topics, although since we are in a recession, I do not think I can afford to purchase it!

This book sounds very intersting, especially now a days.

I would really like to read this book. I think i will ask for it as a christmas present as i am broke. I also clip coupons and get alot of things really cheap or free just leaving me to pay the sales tax.

I wish there was a place for people to post different ways they personally save. Then we could all share ideas on what we do to help save on the cost of living.

I am all about saving money!!! I would be interested in ready any books on this topic. So far, I have learned to coupon (it is an art). I have gotten many free or really cheap items this way.

I'll be checking this one out!

Truthfully I do not think that I would be interested in reading this book. I am a 63 year old disabled senior citizen and would love to hear tips and hints to save money and make our meager checks go furthur though.....

I don't think the book would really be aimed towards a woman like me, I am a stay at home-schooling mom and have not worked in more than 12 years. But I would be interested in a book that can teach me more things I need to know to have cost savings around our home and in our lives. This economy is really effecting us very hard in Michigan, and I think there has to be more a woman like I can do to help bring money in to our home or to at least cut expenses.

I would love to read a book like that. I'm starting school in January (at 26!) for graphic and web design. I was hoping to start a career that I would be able to eventually have my own business from home with, so that I would be able to stay home with my children. But with the state of things, I'm not sure how this plan will work out! I think any advice would be helpful.

Sounds wonderful! I'll be sure to check it out!

It sounds great! I haven't checked it out to see how much it costs yet.
