I read a few books lately regarding financial health, bargaining, thrift, frugality, free stuff and similar topics. I used my library's online resources. They cost me nothing and I read them at home on my computer. They are:

1. Clark Howard's Living Large for the Long Haul: Consumer-Tested Ways to Overhaul Your Finances, Increase Your Savings, and Get Your Life Back on Track
by Clark Howard  (Author), Mark Meltzer (Author), Theo Thimou (Author)

2. Bargain Junkie: Living the Good Life on the Cheap
by Annie Korzen  (Author)

I believe they are worth recommendation.

I can always use good advice on making more and spending less.  I wish I could find a book on how to earn another six hours in the day! Seriously, Thanks for the book recommendations!  My son gets a new Ipad next month and I get his old Kindle fire. I have started a list of books that I want to download and read.  You had mentioned that these are at the library so I am hoping that I can download them for free...I am super cheap-Fusion Cash has taught me well! I have even found four hours a week, where I make money and can do nothing but sit there and read! The sitting money goes to my family...the time is reflection/sharpening the saw time for me!

Where can I find these books?  Can I find them online to read for free or do you have to purchase them?  I have no income and my husband only get $721 a month for us to live on so we are on a real strict budget the only two bills I have that I can get rid of (but not without breach of contract) is my internet and Direct Tv.  I would be nice to find a way to save money and what ever else we can do.

Thanks for the recommendation the Bargain Junkie book seems really interesting and I think I've seen Clark Howard on TV a few times. Annie Korzen has done a few interviews also.

Thanks :)

Maximizing money is very important to me and while I stay single, this will remain important to me.  Thank you for the resources channels. However, my potential other half likes to spend, which is causing a rift between us.
