Today we have two great books that will help you find a much less intimidating and overwhelming way to control your spending including one book specifically for the holidays. Also included today are two books that will help you declutter your kitchen as well as a book for decluttering with your kids. I love Spring cleaning so I think a few of these are meant for me. Enjoy!
The No-Numbers Approach to Saving Money
Higher Read
(13 Reviews)
Genre: Business & Investing | Self-Help
FREE for a limited time
The No-Numbers Approach helps you save money but stays away from dollars and cents because many people find budgeting intimidating and overwhelming. The No-Numbers part of our approach to saving money means we avoid burn out because we don’t count pennies. It is not a condemnation of penny-counters. On the contrary, if you get to the end of the No-Numbers Approach and feel ready to work with a traditional budget, good for you!
But for those of us who never want to, or don’t want to yet, work with a spreadsheet and numbers but still want to save, it is best to start saving in the easiest way possible. Since modern society already generates records of our spending for us, namely receipts and bills, we can use those records to watch our money without having to crunch numbers.
In this book, you will learn how to cut spending without spending a lot of time doing calculations. You will learn where you spend the most and how you can gain control over that spending. And having control over spending is a very good feeling.

How to Budget for the Holidays
Higher Read
(9 Reviews)
Genre: Business & Investing | Religion & Spirituality
That well-known time of the year known as “the holidays” begins in late October (if you wish to count Halloween) and ends around January 2 (if you celebrate New Year’s Day). It isn’t a term you will see on a wall calendar with a big “Holidays Begin” in bold letters, and it means something slightly different for everyone, but we all know what it means to us. For some it means strictly religious observance or celebration. Others think of it as time spent with family and friends. Still more people view it as a time of year to think of those in need, and soup kitchens and blood drives get an annual boost from all the giving.
Regardless of exactly what the holidays mean to you, they probably mean spending. Whether you spend on traditional meals or on gifts for everyone or on outfits for a variety of functions that require your attendance, there can be ignoring the fact that starting in early November, we start to feel anxious about our wallets.
These two things – the traditions that bring warmth into our lives and the holiday spending – don’t have to cancel each other out. It is easy to forget the good feelings that go along with sharing time with family when we are worried about making ends meet. That is why we need to think about doing the holidays on a budget. If we can control our spending amidst all of the lights and gift wrap and cookies, then we can more thoroughly enjoy the entire experience of the holidays.
Rather than a specific plan laid out for budgeting, this book encourages you to find a budget (with a few tips about how) and cut back on what you usually spend in the fall and winter. It demonstrates a variety of ways to do this: by finding inexpensive solutions, by rethinking how we approach the holidays, and by reevaluating what real giving is. You might find you don’t connect with all of the ideas here, but some are sure to appeal to you. Even if you only shake off some of the anxiety the holidays bring, you will find a more peaceful holiday season. No Bah Humbug about it.

How to Declutter Your Kitchen
Higher Read
(13 Reviews)
Genre: Crafts, Hobbies & Home | Self-Help
One of the luxuries of modern life is the ability to step back from the chaos and try to improve our quality of life. Sometimes this is spiritual; we learn to meditate, start going to church, or read books about spirituality. In some instances, we want to be physically healthier so we eat more fresh vegetables and start exercising.
We also improve our life quality when we enhance our home space. For a long time, we thought the best way to enjoy our space more was to add to it. The latest knick-knack was put on the shelf or a room was re-painted to reflect modern trends. That mentality that brings us here: to a time when people are looking not to add to a room or house or apartment, but to take away from it in the attempt to make an enjoyable environment.
Once you have simplified your space, once you have decluttered, you will find a space that feels as though you breathe easier. In some ways this is logical; there is less to clean or trip over. But an uncluttered space also, somewhat mysteriously, impacts our mood. It gives us a feeling of serenity and peace.
I hope you find that serenity once you have made your space a sanctuary by removing unwanted clutter from your life. In the pages of this book you will find tips, systems, and methods to help you declutter your home, leading you to that sense of peace and contentment.
