I just finished reading You Can Afford to Stay Home with Your Kids by Malia McCawley Wyckoff and Mary Snyder.

For anyone who is just beginning to think about going from a two income family to a one income family this book can be helpful and inspirational.

The chapters are not really long, there are personal anecdotes along the way, and they briefly cover the more relevant issues that you would need to consider.

There is a Continuing Education section with resources so you can go futher in depth with certain areas, such as; Cooking, Home Care and Money.

I am constantly amazed at all the books out there that are about frugal living, and how similar they are, but yet they continue to sell and more are always coming out.

I wonder who buys all these copies to keep the editors publishing the books. Any one who is truly into frugal living after buying a book or two, will most likely continue their search on the internet or with their public library, since it's the more frugal thing to do.

I continually think about writing a general frugal book, but I feel as though it's been done so many times that there really is not more to say.

But maybe with a shiny cover and a spiffy title another frugal book could be worthy.

Hmmmm......
