So, it looks like I’ve been bitten by the Amazon Kindle bug. Although, it’s not buying books for the Kindle that I’m addicted to, it’s writing them!
As of last night, I’ve now published five personal finance books to the Kindle, with the two latest being 5 Money Lessons I Learned from My Blue Collar Middle Class Parents, and Save Money Without Even Noticing. Needless to say, I think they’re pretty awesome.
For the faithful readers of Saving Without a Budget, you may recognize the blue collar title, since it was one of my more well-received posts, even getting picked up by Time. Rest assured though, the ebook is not just a cut and paste from Saving Without a Budget; I’ve added lots of new content and insights.
As for “the other” ebook, it gives a bunch of easy ways you can start saving a bunch of money without affecting your lifestyle, or, as the title might suggest, without even really noticing. This includes ways to save money on utilities, groceries, entertainment, etc. You name it, you can save it. (I’m a poet and don’t even know it.)
I’d love it if you’d check out the books and let me know what you think!

Without a doubt, the holidays can be one of the most stressful times of the year. It seems you’ve got one family gathering after another, you’re busy trying to get your decorations up, and you’re stressed about getting gifts for everyone without blowing your budget.
While I can’t help with the first two problems – and let’s be honest, having family gatherings is a good problem to have – I can help with helping you get gifts without blowing your budget.
I’ve written The Frugal Christmas Gift Guide: Holiday Shopping Without Busting Your Budget for the Amazon Kindle as a general guide to help you get through the most wonderful and expensive time of the year without having a horrible credit card bill waiting for you in the new year.
In The frugal Christmas Gift Guide, I talk about how to take advantage of awesome holiday sales – not just Black Friday – as well as other ways you can give gifts without spending a ton of money (hint: the gift of time goes a long, long way).
I’d love it if you checked out the book and then let me know what you think.
Happy Thanksgiving and happy kickoff to the holiday shopping season!
