Recommendation

Crystal Paine’s MoneySavingMom.com blog – a popular personal finance site – offers instructions on how to pinch pennies, spend wisely and make money from home. Paine presents workable strategies for generating income. She cites her personal experience as her go-to case study, sharing stories of past failures and successes. Paine, a homeschooling mother of three and a self-described “child of God,” offers practical advice openly shaped by her religious beliefs. If you want helpful counsel about making money given from an optimistic, faith-based perspective, she fills the bill, though readers who don’t share her viewpoint may find her a little preachy. While always neutral in matters of religion, getAbstract believes moms (and dads) seeking alternative ways to earn, save and give will find much to appreciate in Paine’s helpful guide.

Summary

Financial Freedom

Author Crystal Paine – founder of the popular MoneySavingMom.com blog – and her husband Jesse were able to move from their hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, to Wichita, Kansas, because they earned the financial freedom to make the change. They spent many years watching their pennies, staying out of debt and working several jobs to achieve that goal. The phrase “financial freedom” means different things to different people. Paine interprets it as having more than enough money to cover her monthly bills and provide for her family. Other people define financial freedom as having money saved or invested, reducing debt or amassing enough savings to send their children to college or retire comfortably. Every definition of financial freedom includes making more than a survival income and gaining the luxury of being “intentional” with your money.

You don’t have to be a superwoman, work from sunup to sundown or make boatloads of money to gain financial freedom. Regardless of your family situation, age or education, you can achieve your hopes and dreams if you have an open mind, work hard and persevere.
