Living on Less and Liking it More
Living on Less and Liking it More by Maxine Hancock; Started: June 25th, 2010; Finished: June 26th, 2010
This was a great book. Even though it's written back in the late '70s, it's not really that dated. The way the topic is handled it's relevent to tday as well as 30+ years ago.
I found the end didn't Quite line up with the rest of the book, but maybe that's just me.
In this book the author talks about finding ways to live more with God in mind, than for material possessions. About making do with littler, whether by choice or circumstances.
About going from owning their home to renting:
"..From one which we owned, to one which we could only rent....I felt like a hen that couldn't quite settle back on the nest for fear it might be suddenly jerked away from under her."
Being a renter myself I can totally identify with that feeling.
I'm wanting to add this book to my personal library, as something to come back to from time to time, keep me on track. While reading this book I felt the strength and courage to make choices within my own life for better financial stability and peace of mind.
Whether you are someone who suddenly finds themself on a small, limited income, or you've always had to scrape by, or even if money has never been something you've had to worry over, I feel that there is something for everyone within this book.
