  I HIGHLY recommend you check your local library for a copy of The Complete Tightwad Gazette, if you&apos;ve never read it! You can also get a used copy on Amazon right now for $13! <a href="https://amzn.to/3UiIQPo">https://amzn.to/3UiIQPo</a>

  I’ve had this book for almost 30 years - it will stay in my reference library forever.

  The Tightwad Gazette changed my life! I went from spender to saver! I was able to retire after I paid off my house. We have a comfortable retirement!

  I am legitimately the frugal person that I am because of The Tightwad Gazette. &nbsp;I had and raised my babies in the 90’s. All of my mama friends and family thought I was “lucky” to get to be a stay at home mom, but it wasn’t luck at all. &nbsp;It’s because Amy taught me hard core frugality, and my husband and I realized trying to keep up with the Jones’ wouldn’t get us to the goals that were important to us. &nbsp;<br>Now, my babies are grown, and I’m still a stay at home wife. &nbsp;My husband and I own our own business. &nbsp;We have our home paid for. &nbsp;100% zero debt. We have fully funded our retirement, and have a large savings for larger items (home repairs, vehicle replacement, etc). &nbsp;Seriously, it’s ALL because my sister bought a copy of the TWG and loaned it to me one magical day. &nbsp;😊

  I watched her being interviewed on the <br>Donahue show years ago. &nbsp;The audience was so hard on her. &nbsp;They couldn&apos;t believe she bought used toys for her kids! &nbsp;I&apos;m a big fan of her.

  I&apos;ve been a fan of Amy&apos;s since her very first newsletter. I am so happy to see younger generations embracing her!! Please do more videos about her tips.

  I bought this book secondhand after borrowing it from the library - I’ve found it invaluable.

  I bought a pecan wood dining room set for $125 and when I was moving out of state five years later, I sold it for $125. <br>I once got a cookbook for free at a yard sale and sold it to my bookstore for a $60 book credit. I recognized it as a valuable book but that was unusual.<br>The other book that I loved and used a lot was Carla Emory&apos;s &quot;Encyclopedia of Country Living&quot;.

  I actually subscribed to the original Tightwad Gazette! We learned so much. Now we&apos;re retired, no debt, still tightwadding though!
