A Nice Little DIY Personal Finance Guide

 CutCrapOver at the westside writer’s group, I met an interesting live wire who’s thinking about writing a second book, after having self-published a handy guide to save money, get straight financially, and have fun on the cheap.

The book is Cut the Crap and Save 30% of Your Income, and its author, Ruth McCormick, is a retired home-ec teacher. The home economics teacher training shows. In addition to the classic advice on getting out of debt, saving your pennies, and living well on less, she provides worksheets, charts, and “assignments.” It’s like a hard-copy PF blog with interactive features.

Great way to get your act together, if you’re not already there. Check it out!
