The two previous bestsellers by the “Ladies” dealt with commonsense stock-market investing. Here they tell how to economize on everything from baby cribs to cemetery plots to have more money to invest. Their no-nonsense text, sprinkled with personal anecdotes, systematically ferrets out money-saving angles on weddings (don’t splurge), mortgages (don’t overpay) and new-car buying (don’t) and divulges income tax secrets “the rich already know.” The Ladies deal sympathetically but firmly with those two super bugaboos of modern life-credit card spending and skyrocketing health care costs-and show how air travel and home-appliance buying are loaded with frugal possibilities. Finally, the far-reaching study of auto, home and life insurance, retirement planning and ways to prepare for ever-growing college costs should be particularly valuable. The budget-minded will find here all they could wish for. Author tour.

1 Star Pathetic
OK, Now that it is official that they didn’t beat the market, they have reversed gears and try to address the savings part. Nothing to differentiate this from a zillion other such books. I should grant them one thing, they know how to market their name to catch on the gullible.

Start saving piles of cash today with more than 100 instant-implement ideas!

In fact, most first-generation millionaires would agree, it’s not your income that makes you wealthy - it’s what you dont spend your income on that gets you there. That’s the wealth-generating foundation behind this audio program from award winning personal finance columnist, Gregory Karp. From the first CD forward, youll walk in Greg’s shoes (which he probably got for seventy-five percent off) as he reveals more than a hundred secrets only an insider could know on Living Rich by Spending Smart.

Smart Economics Commonsense Answers to 50 Questions about Government Taxes Business and Households

Smart Economics Commonsense Answers to 50 Questions about Government Taxes Business and Households
“Walden uses basic economic concepts and logic to examine the meaning, implications, and possible solutions to 50 current economic issues. Aimed squarely at the general reader, the book is organized as a series of questions with each two- to five-page chapter laying out the basic facts surrounding the issue and applying mainstream economic reasoning to explain those facts….Specific issues include budget deficits and the national debt, Social Security, outsourcing, the trade deficit, gasoline prices, sports franchises, immigration, poverty, and health care….Recommended. General readers; all levels of undergraduates.”–
“For readers with no background in economics or mathematics, Walden addresses some of the major economic questions in the news, not so much answering them as explaining the underlying issues and the criteria for making a decision. Among them are whether war helps the economy, whether Americans pay 60-80% of their income in taxes, whether low-paying jobs are replacing high-paying ones, and whether women earn less than men.”–
“[A]n entertaining and informative introduction to economic principles and their influence on our behavior.”–
“Smart Economics will be a terrific book with wide appeal to educators at all levels, journalists, business executives, investors and interested general readers. It should be especially useful for MBA students who need drilling on the basics.”–
“Professor Walden in this short book throws an unusual amount of light in answering 50 important economic questions. In his ‘Smart Economics’ approach, he shows why the seemingly obvious answers quite often are incorrect. Pitched to the non-economist, economists too can gain from this book. As one example, I found his discussion of the effect of importing drugs from Canada on U.S. drug prices to be particularly insightful.”–
